nowadays,i think i am the first man of trying to develop an ai program.
the basic workflow is read two files,one input file(this file is

generated computer peripheral OCR equipment) and another(this file is

generated by customs expected result,it's made-to-order by

miscellaneous software,in future,this kind of results or problems can

be find by machine-self)
please tell me,how do i use DOS function 42h to control file pointer

read/write contextual two files.after prepare for many algorithm
for example:

INCLUDE Irvine16.inc

.data
BufSize = 5000
infile    BYTE "my_text_file.txt",0
outfile   BYTE "my_output_file.txt",0
inHandle  WORD ?
outHandle WORD ?
buffer    BYTE BufSize DUP(?)
bytesRead WORD ?
address dw ?


.code
main PROC
    mov  ax,@data
    mov  ds,ax

; Open the input file
	mov ax,716Ch   	; extended create or open
	mov bx,0      	; mode = read-only
	mov cx,0	; normal attribute
	mov dx,1	; action: open
	mov si,OFFSET infile
	int 21h       	; call MS-DOS
	jc  quit	; quit if error
	mov inHandle,ax

; Read the input file
	mov ah,3Fh	; read file or device
	mov bx,inHandle	; file handle
	mov cx,BufSize	; max bytes to read
	mov dx,OFFSET buffer	; buffer pointer
	int 21h
	jc  quit	; quit if error
	mov bytesRead,ax

; Display the buffer
	mov ah,40h	; write file or device
	mov bx,1	; console output handle
	mov cx,BufSize 	; number of bytes
	mov dx,OFFSET buffer	; buffer pointer
	int 21h
	jc  quit	; quit if error

; Close the file
	mov  ah,3Eh    	; function: close file
	mov  bx,inHandle	; input file handle
	int  21h       	; call MS-DOS
	jc  quit	; quit if error

; Create the output file
	mov ah,3dh   	; extended create or open
	mov bx,1      	; mode = write-only
	mov cx,0
	mov al,0; normal attribute
;	mov dx,13h	; action: create/truncate
	mov si,OFFSET outfile
	int 21h       	; call MS-DOS
	jc  quit	; quit if error
	mov outHandle,ax	; save handle
;pointer
;mov ax,42h
;mov bx,outhandle
;mov cx,10
;mov al,0
;int 21h
;mov address,dx

; Write buffer to new file

mov ah,40h	; write file or device
	mov bx,outHandle	; output file handle
	mov cx,bytesRead	; number of bytes
	mov dx,OFFSET buffer; buffer pointer

	int 21h

	jc  quit	; quit if error
;loop next
; Close the file
	mov  ah,3Eh    	; function: close file
	mov  bx,outHandle	; output file handle
	int  21h       	; call MS-DOS

quit:
	call Crlf
    exit
main ENDP
END main

the goal is accomplish segmental reading,after computing,finally step

outcome the procedure of dynamic demonstration.
