print ustr$(eax),13,10
inkey
exit

result.....

Code Select Expand

-216152991

i thought ustr$ displayed unsigned dwords

Code Select Expand

      ustr$ MACRO number
        LOCAL buffer
        .data?
          buffer TCHAR 40 dup (?)
          align 4
        .code
        IFNDEF __UNICODE__
          invoke crt__itoa,number,ADDR buffer,10
        ELSE
          invoke crt__itow,number,ADDR buffer,10
        ENDIF
        EXITM <eax>
      ENDM

oops
i think crt__ultoa/crt__ultow was what you wanted

can't believe i am just now finding this - lol

Dave,

I did not see a question.

Are you talking to yourself  ?

Hutch doesn't like it when we ask questions in this sub-forum - lol

I have read it but have not had time to look at the problem.

[dedndave]

i am guessing it was a simple copy/paste mistake   :P

Jochen,

what has lingo's old avatar to do with Dave?

i try to maintain my masm32 library so it's compatible with other members
but, i may go off the grid with str$, ustr$, and uhex$
probably the stuff i use most out of m32lib

i would also like to upgrade them so they are unicode aware
i don't control the library, but i do have control of it on my disk

yep, beside some bugs, there are some macros that are currently not TCHAR aware. Also I'm missing some important macros in this context. e.g. for declaring TCHAR data in arbitrary segment.

For hutch it might be more helpful if we supply him such an file with some comments what has been added and corrected...

Nothing. Just a warning to the little bird in the glass 8)

Ah, I understand. Thank you for the advice.  ;)

something else that is handy is, sometimes, i want to load the address into a register

Code Select Expand

        mov        edx,uhex$(eax)

it works for uhex$ because the macro is written to exit with the address

Code Select Expand

      uhex$ MACRO DDvalue   ;; unsigned DWORD to hex string
;
;
;
        EXITM <OFFSET rvstring>
      ENDM

but, it doesn't work for ustr$ or sstr$

Code Select Expand

      ustr$ MACRO number
;
;
;
        EXITM <eax>
      ENDM

[qWord]

but, it doesn't work for ustr$ or sstr$

why does it not work? EAX holds the address.

...
        EXITM <eax>

Works fine, Dave. What doesn't work is
      mov eax, str$(123)
because of
      EXITM <ADDR rvstring>

I recommend
      mov esi, Str$("This is %i times more powerful", 100)
;)
