Hello there!
I get the number from the keyborad using function ReadConsole which saves the length of the inputed number in one of its arguments.
How could i use this argument as an index of array? (The number it is the array which i define as

Code:

number db 500 dup(0)

I used to use constants or registers in such situatons but in this case all registers are busy and i can not do something like that :

Code:

length_number = 0
length_number = [symbols_was_read]

Code:

mov ecx,  [symbols_was_read] (now it is free but it will be used later and can not use as index)
length_number = ecx
How can i create run-time constant in FASM?

I was invented lots of variants but all of them fallen.
And i always wanted to know why can not i do such thing :

Code:

mov cl,[first_number + [symbols_was_read]]

(Use normal variable as an index).

If all the registers are in use then you don't really have any other options. Just save one of the register values to somewhere and then use the now free register for other processing. Usually a convenient place to save temporary values is the stack.
