I need a program called "FindLine"

[learn64bit]

someone have noticed me: we forgot to make sure have at least one none empty line in a and b.
I think he is right.

Hello,
This is a general soluce to manipulate text easily.
perhaps he could help.

TouEnMasm,
thanks.

if check fail, we just exit.

[learn64bit]

idea update,
do none empty line check before none empty line length check.
none empty line exist, then continue. otherwise exit

[learn64bit]

hope nothing be forgot to check

q:is your next program called "finding in line" or "FindString", "FindHex"?
a:haha, no! no next program untill I finished the FindLine.

[learn64bit]

make sure no duplicated line in a.txt
now lineLenght only work in one byte (cmp al,x)
  but we can make it work in two(cmp ax,x), three(cmpsb), four(cmp eax,x) and overfour(cmpsb)

ideas still welcome, this is just the beginning.
thanks everyone!

q:where is somebody's idea
a:
xor eax,eax
jmp skipNoneUsedIdeaCode
;none used idea code
mov eax,0
skipNoneUsedIdeaCode:

too slow.. already found a bug...

too slow..

Not surprising as you are opening two files @ 1 Gigabyte or more and working on them.
Get the code to work first, then you can work on optimizing it to make it run faster once it works properly.


Congratulations for your persistence.    I usually put code on the back burner if I haven't gotten it up and running after a couple of days.

already found a bug...

Sorry to hear that. Hope you can find it, you seem to making some progress with your project.

very slow

[learn64bit]

still very slow, but we must move on

[zedd151]

still very slow, but we must move on

  We will be awaiting the final version. 

[learn64bit]

this is a dead project, because I am not interested anymore
(hope somebody will finish it someday)
(it's a .rar file, not a .zip file)

[learn64bit]

in order to create line address and length table, now I need to figure out the maximumLineNumber of b.txt
(when I done this, I will upload the source code again)

Oooops!
