Hello everyone.

I'm having the worst time trying to use this compilier. My biggest problem is this, I can't seem to run it from the command line. I've tried just opening my asm file and clicking "Run" after compiling, but it only opens a dos window and quickly closes it. Is there a Sleep command? I've tried "pause" but that didn't seem to do it.

Thanks!

Well, visibly you created DOS program or Windows console program (I can't guess what exactly without the source) and probably it runs and finishes instantly without any user interface. You can try to run your program in some debugger (I recomend you OllyDbg for Windows programs) so, you can trace what actually happen.

If you want to make compilation from command line, you should download some of FASM console versions - DOS, Win32 or Linux one.

Regards.

Is there an easy was to get an interger? Right now my code is real simple:

db 97

Which is supposed to make a character... Assembly is a bit strange to me... I am much more comfortable with C++.

All I want to be able to do is do math quickly with a user inputed int and then print the answer to the screen. I picked assembly for the speed.

Thanks again!

Like a lot of people these days. Smile
You have to read (this very minute Wink ) the vid's tutorials here:

http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=1178&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

Don't worry, they are short, but will give you very strong acceleration in basics of the assembler and FASM. At the end you will ask for more. Smile

Regards.

That tutorial looks real helpful! Sadly I still can't compile from the command line. When I try to run the following: C:\download\fasmw151\FASMW.EXE Test.asm empty.bin

I get an error saying: Could not load file empty.bin

I have also tried to run simply fasm test.asm empty.bin, but I get an error saying "Windows cannot find 'fasm'...". Any ideas?

why don't you use fasmc151?
it is a console edition in windows.and it has a simple expression just like
fasm test.asm test.exe
fasmw151 is a gui edition and you can open it just move your mouse on it
and click it!

Ah! Everything works fine now. I have the FASMW program and thought I had to use the command line. Thanks everyone!

My quick tip is: when making console apps, I'm too lazy to put kernels Sleep(some time) at the end of it. So what I do, is make a file like a.bat and write cmd inside it(or command in Win9x/Me) so when running test.com inside it, I can see the output AND the program won't exit:D
