Smile
I called a function of an external DLL and it returned an array of parameters
The returned parameters are stored in an eax register
I don’t know how to extract an element of the array from eax
The returned eax is like this:

eax='1|249|5|23|21'

Are 5 elements separated by ‘|’

As a novice, I would like to ask for help, thank you very much for that!

Code:
        xchg esi,eax
_scan:  mov edx,esi     ; save start address of number
_more:  lodsb
        test al,al
        jz number_end
        cmp al,"|"
        jnz _more
number_end:

        ; < process number  starting at EDX>

        cmp byte[esi-1],0
        jnz scan    
...is a possiblity.

What to do with number though? ...and why program in x86?

This is an unfinished code
I don’t know if this idea is feasible
I want to use registers to achieve all without memory access

mov edi,eax
mov al,'|'
repne scasb
invoke msg,0,edi,0,0

       mov byte [edi-1],0 ; null terminate
       invoke msg,0,esi,0,0    
The above should work.
SCASB is memory access. Confused
