I guess I'm experiencing some strange error if I'm not mistaken..

I'm using "repnz scasb", edi is equal to "0042CB16" which points to "8B" and al is equal to "8B", though ZF doesn't get set.. (target is run in ollydbg)
I seriously don't know what's wrong with this..

Nope :/
the point of the code is to search a string in memory, but instead of stopping at the correct byte, it just keeps on looping.
the strange thing is that 3 bytes further there is again "8B" and it stops at that one..

ah.. I guess I got it now and yes, apparently it was just a stupid mistake of mine..
It seems like it simply got fuxed up by a breakpoint (CCh) which wasn't shown in OllyDbg but was inserted by it.
Dunno why I didn't think of something like this.. guess because I've never really experienced anything similiar
btw. normally I use OllyAdvanced and I've read somewhere that it uses a different system of inserting breakpoints, I wonder if the problem wouldn't have occurred if I have had it activated..
thanks anyways
