store input in string

How do I save a string? Say I type in "sfrider0." How do I store that then retrieve it later? I've been messing around with it for a while and the most I can get it to do is tell me how many characters are in it. Any help?

; you mean storing it even after program close?
; then : In Registry (RegOpenKeyEx, RegQueryValueEx, RegSetValueEx ...) , In a File ( CreateFile, WriteFile, ReadFile ...), In .ini File ( you can easily do that by special API funcs (e.g: GetPrivateProfileString, WritePrivateProfileString ...))

No, just store during the program. I'm trying to input two strings, then put them in alphabetical order. I understand how to compare and order two strings that are hard coded.

; you have to allocate enough memory for the string in the ".data?" ; section:
.data?
szBuff db 256 dup(?)
; then when you call StdIn it will write user input into szBuff

Assembly Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. 	.386
  2. 	.model flat,stdcall
  3. 	option casemap:none
  4. 	include \masm32\include\windows.inc

  12. .data?
  13. 	szBuff				db  256 dup(?)
  14. .data
  15.  
  16. .code
  17. start:
