store input in string

Expand Post »
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?

Re: store input in string

; 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 ...))

Re: store input in string

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.

Re: store input in string

; 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
  5. 	include \masm32\include\user32.inc
  6. 	include \masm32\include\kernel32.inc
  7. 	include \masm32\include\masm32.inc
  8. 	includelib \masm32\lib\user32.lib
  9. 	includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib
  10. 	includelib \masm32\lib\masm32.lib
  11.  
  12. .data?
  13. 	szBuff				db  256 dup(?)
  14. .data
  15.  
  16. .code
  17. start:
  18. call AllocConsole
  19. push sizeof szBuff
  20. push offset szBuff
  21. call StdIn
  22. push offset szBuff
  23. call StdOut
  24. push NULL
  25. call ExitProcess
  26. end start
