String input

[neutralfox]

Hello friends,
I am new to assembly language and I want the user to input a string ... then save the string in a stack.

Is there a function to get the string from the user, like getStr .

Thanks in advance.

Need to know what compiler and OS you are using.

I am using masm615 and Windows XP. But I didn't know that the code depends on the OS and the compiler.

Under Windows, you can see a lot of samples, but using MASM32:

After installing, look into folders:

MASM32\tutorial\console
MASM32\examples

Let me know if that helps

Thanks for the answer dude. But I am having problem to install masm32. Is it different from masm615?

[DavidOsorno]

You are welcome.

No quite different, MASM32 8 is a newer version (the most recent as far as I know)

If you are a begginer, I really encourage you to use that version, because it comes with a lot of very simple and self-explanatory samples.

It is fully compatible with the free versions, like Visual C++ express edition, so you can invoke your ASM functions from C++, or just type inline assembly from C++.

If you want to start from the very begging, you can follow the samples from the "hello world" sample.

Thanks ... will the program still run in masm615 if I assembled it using masm32?

[DavidOsorno]

Yes i till run in masm615 as long as you do not use masm32 specific macros, or you copy the macro definition into masm615.

Browsing macro definitions help a great deal in learning.

Okie .... thanks for the help. I will try it.
