Simple Assembly Question on Strings Hey people.
I'm trying to build a loop to move from Arthur Vandelay to Tim Pennypacker, to Bob Sacamano. I know how to move from 54 to 21 to -2 and so on but I can't get the code right to move from Arthur Vandelay to Tim Pennypacker. I know it's something simple that I'm missing but the online documentation is scarce.
Much appreciated.

Emp1 db 'Arthur Vandelay',13,10,'$' Num1 dw 54,21,-2,25 db 'Tim Pennypacker',13,10,'$' dw 24,81,-14,22 db 'Bob Sacamano',13,10,'$' dw 72,-9,-51,-22
Much appreciated.

why don't you make it easy on yourself and give each one a name like you did Emp1 == use Emp2, Emp3, etc. Then I think you can create a jump table
table dw Emp1, Emp2, Emp3

Based on your example and because you have variable length records SCASB is your best option
Now you are pointing to the numeric values and you just have to add 8 to edi to point to the next employee.
Although this does work, it is very problematic. Fixed record lengths or pointers via a table as Ancient Dragon has pointed out are the best way s to go.

I ended up storing the offsets for each employee, but I'm switching to your solution for obvious reasons.
Now I'm trying to sort the data by last name, first name. Any tips?
Thanks.
