Hello
I have not found info on stringtable resource.
Right now i use globals but LoadStringX is desired.

Hi bitshifter,

To create string resource:

To get the string:



or:


regards

FASM don't want assemble your string table example implemented in a test file with resources.

the STRINGTABLE line has an "illegal instruction" when assemble it.
Can you post an example ASM file with stringtables?

Thanks

bitshifter,

Look at:

hth,

you should create resource file 'name.rc' and compile it separately with some resource compiler (MS rc.exe)

There are two ways to build applications: PE or COFF
if you build PE than you have to include it with:

for COFF apps you just link .obj and .res

If you want to see how it works you can check topic:

I needed olny the direct FASM method, because i use only PURE FASM assembler when programming.

Tanks however

Pirata Derek

I prefer HYBRID instead of PURE
If you want to be able to debug your FASM programs at source level, the best option is to build MS COFF objects and link them with the MS Link.exe
For the Release version you can use PoLink.exe

Why would someone limit themselves with PURE things???

best regards

Pure things are easier to compile. I also prefer pure.

I prefer pure too. Everything becomes "learnable".

Ah, now I know why this looked familiar to me: http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=5324

No idea what I did with that however. Since it was in 2006 then probably was yet another abandoned project without even seriously started it...

Anything can be easy if you know how to do it, but to learn new things is hard, and there is the challenge but also the satisfaction.
Why do we program in assembly language? Because it is easier or because it is better and harder? PURE sounds to me a little bit Nazi

Thanks for the replies.
I never use linker so i like pure method.

BECAUSE:
1) Assembly is the base of programming languages, the REAL machine language
2) Assembly is flexible and it premits us to create simple and powerful programs.
3) The only limitation of assembly is if its instruction set is supported by target CPU. (infact there're some assembly languages)
4) The only limitations of FASM is if it implements the macros or the functionalities to do what you want.

(Remember: Tomasz always work to make fasm better)

One programming language (flat assembly), one program (FASM)

Pure things pwn hybrid things except in large projects.

I don't know the format used in resources, for sure it can be done with FASM macros.

I personally think that FASM is number one at this moment, but this is because of its flexibility. It is OK to build PURE FASM when you build simple applications, but for complex applications you would probably need .obj and .res files. I think that's why Tomasz made possible those features and -s option, to be able to debug programs at source level.
Everybody has right (and a duty) to follow their own ideas and I appreciate people who do that. I try to be open minded and flexible and not reject things before I tried them.

best regards

For more complex programs i use multiples include modules.

I assembled a lot of program that has more than 2'700 code lines!
If you download the package into this topic you will find one of my personal program (it is the old version of networker) i'm telling you.
Also I has the new version of it and it has more than 40'000 code lines!!!!!!!!!!! (splitted into about 25 files *.ASM, *.INC, etc...)

No exceptions for complex program projects, only orded code lines, data and files;
FASM thinks to the other things...

looks like another useless endless holywar. there can be different ways to get result with asm: each one has own lacks and advantages, more or less important on specific situation. we have to resume about string resources in fasm: they can be added with macro through pure fasm code or with whole externally built resource section.
