Assembles and links without errors (using Masm32's Quick Editor) But when I run it at the Console, nothing happens. No errors. Just nothing.
Thanks
RON
SORRY! DID NOT LINK WITH SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE.
LIVE AND LEARN.
RON,
It compiled and worked as expected on my machine.
Yes, I compiled it with the Quick Editor, using, Project menu,...Console Build All.
Then I invoked it from the Command Prompt like this:
Ron >"F:\temp Ron\Output.txt"
...So that the output is redirected to a text file in whatever directory you want,...
Output.txt says this: Hello World!
Hello Ron,
The program works fine. There are a couple things you could be doing wrong. First make sure you're using Console assemble and link from the qEditor Project menu. You can just go "Console Build All", the penultimate option. Then when you select "Run Program" the console window will flash and disappear - that's the second problem. Everyone else will tell you to use "waitkey" so the window stays up, but I prefer to do the following. In qEditor hit "CTRL-D" to bring up a console window. Then at the prompt type the name you gave the program file. In my case I called it "stdout.asm" so after "Console Build All" it created stdout.exe. So, at the console prompt, I type stdout then hit Enter, and you'll see "Hello World".
As I say someone else will soon tell you to use waitkey, or similar, I've always thought that rather Mickey Mouse, but you can also use that approach.

Just in case you think he's joking:
QuoteMASM32 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.

Hi Ron,
Welcome on board.
GUYS!!! THANKS for all your help to my (obviously trivial) question. Greatly appreciate it. I used to code in assembler but haven't done so in many years. Looking to return to it for some projects.
Be careful Ron, we will lead you astray. :biggrin:
