Hi All,

Thanks so much for letting me sign up, ASM is the only language
I want to use when coding, as well as PHP. I Know everything about
PHP, but very little about ASM. Here is a simple question for you, I will
say execute the function FindWindow to find a window that is open, my code
is this. :

Code:



include 'win32ax.inc' ; you can simply switch between win32ax, win32wx, win64ax and win64wx here

.code

  start:
       FindWindow,NULL,"Example Window"
       invoke  MessageBox,HWND_DESKTOP,"Window Found!. " ,invoke GetCommandLine,MB_OK

.end start

I Want the messagebox to say "Window Found" only if it is found, can you
correct my code for me please.?. I Would be very very thankful indeed. Smile

.

Trent.

       .endif

.end start

You'll need to call ExitProcess also else your code will run off the end and probably crash.

I'm a bit of a newbie with ASM, I have tried this and it still doesn't work, still says error.

Code:

;******************
;* FindWindow.asm * 
;****************** 

include 'win32ax.inc' 

.code  

  start:  
       invoke  FindWindow,NULL,"MyFile.txt - Notepad" 

       .if eax <> 0 
       invoke  MessageBox,HWND_DESKTOP,"Window Found!" ,"FindWindow",MB_OK 
       .endif

         invoke  ExitProcess,0
.end start

Oh, I thought you were talking about runtime errors. You have an assembly time error.

But I can't understand why include would be an illegal instruction? That doesn't make sense to me. Is your fasmw the original .exe? Did you make any changes to it or something?

look at your "fasmw.ini".

Things like these could happen if you unzipped the fasm package at location A, run the FASMW there, and then moving that FASM folder to location B. FASMW.ini is set the first time you open FASMW.exe, that includes setting up the default FASM path where you first run it. Changing the content of .ini file would help.

Other than that, you have other problems. Weird problem, I must say.

system error: If the path is wrong then you still don't get an "illegal instsruction" error. You'd get a "file not found" error.

@revo Yeah i know that. I was just being general to potential beginners' problems.

This one is weird though. Getting 'illegal instruction' on an include directive is ... just funny.

I think he's running a script or something, or even a shortcut with wrong configuration.

It's worth trying. I have no clue what's going on.

If the error persists, would you please zip the source file you're trying to compile and attach it here?

Hello Guys,

I Tried unzipping fasm to a new location, fresh from my downloaded one. It still says same error. Which file would you like me to zip, the asm file you mean.?.

Or my entire fasm file?

Thanks so much guys.

I haven't used asm or fasm much and in a while but I don't remember ever using double quotes with fasm.. just single quotes

Double quotes are OK. Just tried to compile the example as it appears in comments above on Win10 and it's OK. And indeed, after moving fasm dir to another location, I started getting file not found error, but not illegal instruction. My best guess is include directive contains non-latin chars that look like latin

But the OP said copy/paste from this thread. Just like I did, just like others did. And there are no non-ASCII characters in there. Also can/does fasmw display Unicode/UTF8 correctly?

I assume your .asm file. We all already have the fasm download file.
