NEED HELP ... How can i include IRVINE32 to work properly ...

[Shahmeerm]

Here is my code , please tell me where i am going wrong  .....


<code>
TITLE Reversing a String          (RevStr.asm)

; This program reverses a string.


INCLUDE Irvine32.inc

.data
aName BYTE "Abraham Lincoln",0
nameSize = ($ - aName) - 1

.code
main PROC


   mov ecx,nameSize
   mov esi,0

L1:   movzx eax,aName[esi]   ; get character
   push eax   ; push on stack
   inc esi
   Loop L1


   mov ecx,nameSize
   mov esi,0

L2:   pop eax   ; get character
   mov aName[esi],al   ; store in string
   inc esi
   Loop L2


   mov edx,OFFSET aName
   call Writestring
   call Crlf

   exit
main ENDP
END main
<\code>


When I try to compile , nothing happens ... Why is it so ???

Really nothing? No little message saying "undefined symbol : Writestring"?

Try WriteString. And welcome to the forum :icon14:

Thanx JJ ..
Nd yes , "Really Nothing" ..
when i click on Project >> Assemble

Nothing Happens , just a single Label on status bar changed to "Press F12 to repeat " .. :-(

and for your concern , i am running masm32 on windows XP ( VM ware Player ) ..
Example Codes from MASM32 assemble properly and Run proprely ... So why not My code ???


Waiting eagerly for my solution .. :-(

Which IDE? Works fine here... (Win7-32, RichMasm)

Did you install the Masm32 package (steps)? Then you could try Project/Console build all in \Masm32\qeditor.exe

And don't forget the uppercase S in WriteString ;-)

[Shahmeerm]

Actually , I have Windows 8 pro 64-bit ....
Nd I thought , that i cld'nt find anyhting for win8 .. So i decided to go with windows XP ..

nd No , I did'nt follow "Steps" , i just download MASM32 pkg , installed it and then tried to Run my codes , which was not compilimg BTW ..  8)

And Plz Just tell me what i have to do , to run my code flawlessly ... Either on windows 8 or XP , i am done with DOS , i need some GoodLooking Editor .... MASM32 is awsome  , but it's not working for me ... :-(

You can use the MASM32 package directly on x64 systems - a VM is only needed for 16bit code.

And Plz Just tell me what i have to do , to run my code flawlessly ...

Step 1:
launch qeditor.exe
Step 2:
menu Code -> Create New Console Application
Step 3:
follow the steps in dialogs that will appear: choose folder for your new application (or create a new one), choose a name for your source, open created asm file
Step 4:
menu Project -> Makeit.bat
Step 5:
menu Project -> Run Program
Step 6:
enjoy 
and from here you may start making some changes to the source , saving it and recompiling
Have fun!

Example Codes from MASM32 assemble properly and Run proprely

So your Masm32 installation is OK. Check if Irvine32.inc is in its proper place... often it's just a path problem, but I can't understand why your IDE doesn't dump some error messages on you ::)

I've tested it with my own Irvine32Mb.inc, and your code runs just fine.

include \masm32\MasmBasic\MasmBasic.inc                  ; download
include \masm32\MasmBasic\IrvineMb\Irvine32Mb.inc        ; needed to build Irvine's (many but not all) 32-bit examples
TITLE Reversing a String          (RevStr.asm)

; This program reverses a string.

; INCLUDE Irvine32.inc <<< disabled

.data
aName BYTE "Abraham Lincoln",0
...

Please, read this thread

but I can't understand why your IDE doesn't dump some error messages on you ::)

seems like he didn't save those lines to a file or saved on another drive

[Shahmeerm]

Love You all  ( JJ and Vertgo ) .... 
You saved my back , guys ... :-)

I dnt knw how to thanku ... Bcoz i just compiled and assembled my code with the help of u ... :-)
God Bless You .... I will never forget this help ... :-)

Hi Shahmeerm,

Kip didn't put "OPTION CaseMap:None" in the header
so - the names aren't case sensitive
personally, i would add it   :P
