     WRITENUMBER, arument
else if argument data type = string
     WRITESTRING, argument
...
    

I forgot to metion, on the last part of your responce you told me how to reserve memory, but how do I compir this to another type to determine whether or not the argument is a number or a string?

proc checknumber
push ebx
xor eax,eax
.loop:
movzx ebx,[number+eax]
test ebx,ebx
je .end_string
cmp ebx,30h
jl .not_a_string
cmp ebx,39h
jg .not_a_string
inc eax
jmp .loop
.not_a_string:
xor eax,eax
jmp .end
.end_string:
mov eax,1
.end:
pop ebx
ret
endp
    

I have been looking for some good I/O routines but to no avail.

I forgot to mention, you told me how to reserve 20h bytes of room, but how would i compare the data type of the argument sent so that I can determine which macro to call.
eg

Code:

WRITE, "I am ",14," years old"    

rather than a STRING/NUMBER aproch to this i would have a over all WRITE macro.
eg.

Code:

if argument data type = number
     WRITENUMBER, arument
else if argument data type = string
     WRITESTRING, argument
...
    

cinvoke wsprintf,buff,"I am %d years old",[number]
    

Just for reference CR is 13 or 0x0D and LF is 10 or 0x0A so you'd do "...,0x0D,0x0A,..." (if you merged these it'd be 0x0A0D because x86 is little endian)

... i never had to use assembly before the project I am working on so I thought it was a dead language...
