There are only 4 ways to get the missing end quote message
Code:
      convert_string:
   mov     al,22h
      stos    byte [edi]
  scas    dword [edi]
 mov     ebx,edi
      copy_string:
   lods    byte [esi]
  stos    byte [edi]
  cmp     al,0Ah
      je      missing_end_quote
   cmp     al,0Dh
      je      missing_end_quote
   or      al,al
       jz      missing_end_quote
   cmp     al,1Ah
      je      missing_end_quote
So you must have one the above 4 characters, cr, lf, nul, or sub inside the quotes.

Notice how Tomasz uses "scas dword [edi]" instead of "add edi,4".

the problem is not fasm, but the string '^ 'is problematic, it is
27 5E 00 27

so, fasm see it as a end of string...
to avoid this bug, the test shall include a two char test.

or al,al
je missing_end_quote?
...
missing_end_quote?:
mov al,[esi-2]
cmp al,5eh
jne missing_end_quote
...

this is size optimisation for sure, but Sad it will change the state of eax, so, to use with caution...

tomasz is not a beginner, he don't have to write the algo with basic inst, remember, he is the autor of the program you use for code... so .. thanks.

There is another way to solve the problem. Delete the two lines that check for nul.

but it can make problems in case of effective end of file before the quote closer.

Just try and see what happens. How does fasm recognise the end of file?

Code:
   mov     byte [edx],1Ah
Hmm ...

the best is to never try to quote strings with '^ ' obtained when typing a ^ accent, the key just after the p on azerty kb, and type a key that don't accept the accent, like p, k, b, t, f, w, , etc...
