32/16 Integer to ASCIIZ converter

ShiftLeft 0 401 Views

This will take a value in EAX or AX, convert to ASCII hex with optional padding and upper or lower case

This example would yield "---fc103a"

    push    word 0x222d         ; 32 bit conversion, padd output with '-'
    push    word ASCPntr        ; Pointer to end of conversion buffer
    push    0xfc103a
    call    I2H
    inc     ax                  ; AX points to actual first character

AX pointing to 1 character before actual beginning allows for successive calls with that pointer so essentially one could convert a 1,024 bit value with this algo.

; ============================================================================================
; Converts 32/16 bit value in E(AX) to an ASCIIZ string.

;	ENTER:	ARG3: Flags & padd character
;		ARG2: Pointer to last digit position in ASCIIZ buffer
;		ARG1: Value to be converted, must be 32 bit even if only converting 16

;	LEAVE:	AX = Pointer to beginning of ASCIIZ buffer
;		Only CX & DX altered

;	FLAGS:	Unchanged
