The MASM Forum

Hello, guys. I'm a RichMasm newbie, and I have a question.

I downloaded a ".asc" file. opened in "RichMasm". and saved as ".asm".
How can I get the RichMan's F6 command lines? Because I want to turn the ".asm" to ".exe".

Even a breakpoint in RichMan's process memory will help!

@learn64bit... I don't use RichMasm or MasmBasic myself but that link should help you.

Nope. Don't read it. It is something else.

Okay then. I'm sure jj2007 can help you with whatever issue you are having.

Not sure what you are after, but I'll try:
1. in case you want to pass a commandline to the newly built exe, put somewhere in your code
  ; OPT_Arg1 Hello World
  (no ; needed if it's a the bottom of the file, after EndOfCode or end start)
2. in case you want to use the commandline in your program, see CL$() (https://www.jj2007.eu/MasmBasicQuickReference.htm#Mb1011)
3. in case you want to bypass RichMasm's F6 build process, put ; OPT_Batch whatever.bat

This example combines 1+2:

include \masm32\MasmBasic\MasmBasic.inc
  Init
  Inkey "The commandline: [", CL$(), "]"
EndOfCode

OPT_Arg1 Hello World, how is the weather today?

I am playing with the "m" and "t" of unicode encoded character's font.

limited, so another post...

Looks like what am I doing is not important.

I just want to make a BATCH file for the ".asm".

OPT_Batch test.bat tmp_file.asm

echo This is test.bat
echo arguments [%1] [%2] [%3]
type %1
echo bye

You want me to change the JJ's ORIGINAL ".asm" file?
Can we keep it ORIGINAL? Just make a ".bat" or ".cmd" for it.

Just imaging I downloaded thousands ".asc" files, and saved as ".asm", now I need to make ".cmd" for each of them.

I really don't know what your intentions are...:

When you open an *.asc file and hit F6,
- RichMasm generates a tmp_file.asm
- and hands it over to a temporary batch file, \Masm32\MasmBasic\Res\bldallRM.bat
- when the build process is ok, tmp_file.exe gets renamed to YourFile.exe
- YourFile.exe runs (with commandlines, if OPT_Arg1 ... was set)

I have yet to see a source that does not build properly when hitting F6. What exactly is your problem? Seriously, why do you want to do all these acrobatics? Does F6 not work for any of your sources? If so, I need to know.

I just want to make BATCH file, so I don't need to open RichMan then press F6.

Do you mean I just use "\Masm32\MasmBasic\Res\bldallRM.bat", then use it for all ".asm"?
Then tell people the Usage: "\Masm32\MasmBasic\Res\bldallRM.bat" ".asm".
New question: when to use "MbMasm64.bat" and "bldallC.bat".

Looks good.


Looks I did it (CL.cmd and use \Masm32\MasmBasic\Res\bldallRM.bat[just added one "pause" line at end]):
@echo off
copy MakeFont.asm tmp_file.asm
bldallRM.bat tmp_file.asm
pause

Congrats :thumbsup:

As an alternative, drag the *.asc file over the attached batch file.
