Hi Guys,

I am just starting Flat Assember and i get an error message when using the command line in Windows 7. It works fine in GUI. Please see below for for the error:

c:\Program Files\fasmw\EXAMPLES\HELLO>fasm hello.asm
'fasm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bodo

You need to place fasm.exe in a folder listed in your PATH environment variable.

Or add the folder where fasm.exe is into your PATH environment variable.

Or place fasm.exe into your current directory "c:\Program Files\fasmw\EXAMPLES\HELLO"

Or explicitly enter the path to fam.exe. "C:\path\to\fasm\fasm.exe hello.asm"

Now i am getting this error below:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

c:\Program Files\fasmw>fasm c:\Program Files\fasmw\EXAMPLES\HELLO\hello.asm
flat assembler version 1.73.23 (1048576 kilobytes memory)
error: source file not found.

c:\Program Files\fasmw>fasm.exe c:\Program Files\fasmw\EXAMPLES\HELLO\hello.asm
flat assembler version 1.73.23 (1048576 kilobytes memory)
error: source file not found.

Below is the include Statement:

c:\Program Files\fasmw\INCLUDE;c:\Program Files\fasmw\EXAMPLES\HELLO

Below is the path statement:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nmapc:\Program Files\fasmw

I truly appreciate your help.

You will need quotes around your source file when there is a space:
c:\Program Files\fasmw>fasm "c:\Program Files\fasmw\EXAMPLES\HELLO\hello.asm"

Otherwise it is seen as two parameters:
1: c:\Program
2: Files\fasmw\EXAMPLES\HELLO\hello.asm

That worked! Thank you so much.

Or just stop using command line and switch to FASMW until you get familiar enough with FASM itself. Returning to it later, after learning the basic ideas of paths and stuff with your own programs, makes the question get magically answered.
