Hi, I'm pretty new to writing stuff in Assembler . Now I'm trying to run some code that puts the odd numbers from an array to a second one, and the even numbers to a third one.
I don't really know how to make the transfer. I tried with MOVSB and STOSB but it didn't work out. This is what I've done so far...

array db 8,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,12,15 
odd db "Odd $ "  
even db "Even $ " 
Modd db 6 dup(?)
Meven db 6 dup(?)


.code
.startup 
       
   
   lea si,array 
   lea di,even 
   mov cx,0Ah 
loops:
    lodsb
    mov bl,al
	and bl,0001b
	cmp bl,0001b
    jne yes
    je no            
    jcxz leave 
    dec cx    
loop loops  

yes:  
    mov ah,2
    lea dx,even  
    ;movsb
    mov ah,9
    int 21h 

loop loops
    
     
no:
    mov ah,2
    lea dx,odd 
    mov ah,9
    int 21h
loop loops 
   
leave:
    mov ah,0
    int 16h
    int 20h

Some initial recommendations...

;;;lodsb  mov bl,al
   mov bl,[si]
   inc si
   test   bl,0001b
;;;and    bl,0001b	
;;;cmp bl,0001b
   jne yes
;;;je no  
   jmp no
;;; CODE NEVER GETS HERE!!!
   jcxz leave

You loop but what happens on the last itertion? Code flows into yes.

To move the code

mov al,[si]
inc si
mov [di],al
inc di
;lodsb
mov al,[si]
inc si
;stosb
mov [di],al
inc di

Good old fundamentals of low-level array manipulation, implemented the code,
does no printing, viewable someway nonetheless.

bits 16
org 100h

start:
mov si, arr ; our array of unsorted odds and evens
mov di, odd
mov bx, even
cld
mov cx, arr_len
start_l:
lodsb
test al, 0x1 ; test lsb to determine if it is set
jnz odd_eri
jz even_eri
start_lr1:
loop start_l
jmp exit
odd_eri:
mov [di], al ; al contains odd value, store away in odd
inc di
jmp start_lr1
even_eri:
mov [bx], al ; al contains even value, store away in even
inc bx
jmp start_lr1
exit:
int 0x20 ; typical .COM termination

odd times 0x10 db 0x0
even times 0x10 db 0x0
arr db 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
arr_len equ $-arr
