Thanks David. Ah yes... I'm finding some of these as I Google "memory scraping tools".

Phil,
You would probably have to prepare in advance for a situation like this, and 
use arrayEncode to create a binary form of the array and save it to disk. Maybe 
you would do this as certain intervals in preparation for a possible crash.

Otherwise, there are debugging/hacking tools which can scrape info out of 
memory to perform these kinds of tasks.

Hi folks,

Are you aware of any way to save the in-memory data of a standalone app that's currently 
not responding? This is on a Mac, probably OS 10.8.x or maybe 10.9.x. Right-clicking the 
app's icon in the Dock gives you the "force quit" option. The data is in an 
array.

I created a stack my client can drag onto the app icon, which will [ideally] 
open it and save that array to disk, but I don't hold out a lot of hope that 
it'll open.

I realize this is an extreme long shot but I told my client I would ask.

Thanks -
