Hey guys, it's been so long since I used MASM.
grrr too long, but making some headway again ::)
hiya Peter - long time no see :P
Very slowly getting back into MASM....
The below is building ok but not running ok, not sure why? It has occassionally accepted input as shown which suggests to me a memory issue but memory doesnt serve me well on the first day back on MASM in over 4 years :dazzled:

Peter,
Just make sure your build environment is working correctly first. Just see if you can build the examples. If so then its OK and you can see what is wrong with the app.
Building win examples fine, have a working console example from the past that I wrote (which wont build now but that could be for any number of reasons, this was a fresh MASM install....
Is there a packaged console example with text input?
Will stop bugging you with stupid questions (I hope) once I can input/output to debug again :biggrin:
Hi, PETER,
Your code compiles, but doesn't really do anything.
mov eax, input("Enter number here ",62," ")
print chr$("Hello")
Isn't it meant to call for input and when entered print "Hello"?
It just falls through and quits for me

Hi Peter,
most IDEs are not intelligent enough to realise that the user might want to see the output of a console app. Use inkey "hello world", or run the exe from a separate console window.
It is running from a separate command prompt window, also tried inkey but still failed
Strange. I get this with your original, non-modified code:0
Enter number here > 123
Hello
It works. Do you get any error messages when building this? Which editor or IDE are you using? Command line options?

It's the default QEditor Script I believe
?.qsc maybe when you click 'Build All'
Absolutely no build errors

Peter,
Sometimes resource file and console mode are incompatible. Try building without resources.
Turns out I'm a complete idiot, didnt select 'Console Build All' Just 'Build All'....
All working now, ty all, so much I have just forgotten :/

Don't worry, most IDEs have no subsystem autodetect... not your fault ;-)

We have something in common,...I do stuff like that all the time,...:bgrin:
Peter,
meant to ask, how old is that youngster of yours now ?
JJ,

Don't worry, some editors give YOU the choice so it is your fault. :biggrin:

Don't worry, some editors give YOU the choice so it is your fault. :biggrin:
In RichMasm, you can override the autodetect e.g. with an
; OPT_Susy Console for a GUI app with console.
We've had so many useless threads starting with inquiries about mysterious non-working apps and ending with explaining to noobs that Console build all is the solution - what about making that the default in a future qEditor release, with
GUI build all as the second option?
:biggrin:
Different target, MASM32 is aimed at producing assembler language programmers and was never an entry level SDK. If a new user does not know the difference between a Windows UI app and a console app, then they probably should be learning programming at an easier level. When they know how to use a compiler/linker/resource compiler and how to use a command prompt, then they are probably ready to start on assembler programming. QE will never be an interpreter, it is a pure ASCII editor and its default is to save plain ASCII text. Programmable menus allow for any option you like as long as you can set the option up and get it going.

He is now 11 and a budding programmer, my daughter 8 and just starting to read 'chapter' books ^^.
Sorry to reply a bit late, I missed that message.
