Code:
movzx dx, al ; if you want extend to zero high order byte
movsx dx, al ; if you want preserve sign

If you are programming in 16 bits, you do not use dx as a base register, but bx(usually) instead. On 32 bits, you must use 32 bits registers:

[codeedx+1], byte '$'[/code]

Note that I specified the size, byte.

It's a phrase in (the language) Esperanto.

OK, the poster have not exactly understood, where you're getting at:
I think I know what you need:
Code:
Sample db "onvrwovjw"
mov dx,Sample
mov byte[dx+10],'$' ;You don't need BYTE if you have defined "db"

;-OR-
mov edx,Sample
mov byte[edx+10],'$' ;Assembler understands that (e)dx is a byte variable(I think)

;You should use byte, word, dword for code readability or when you really would like to split DWORD into BYTEs or vice versa...

its becuase, with one low bit(Cool i will may converter it to a 32 register, and also a 32 bit register i will conveter to 8 bit register... I got also another problem - its that i wanna make my program in full interrups, and found a few guides there show FindFirst & FindNextFile. And such things, but donno how to write to regedit... so my question is, how to set a reg_sz string to ms windows registry database...

RegSetValue, RegSetValueEx and other Reg....... functions from advapi32.dll
Code:
LONG RegSetValue(
    HKEY hKey,   // handle of key to set value for 
    LPCTSTR lpSubKey,     // address of subkey name 
    DWORD dwType, // type of value 
    LPCTSTR lpData,        // address of value data 
    DWORD cbData   // size of value data 
);
    

It's from Win32 SDK Reference help aka win32.hlp which I'm using hardly every day Smile

What's the point? The API will work on all win32 versions, using interrupts will lock you to NT (I believe 9x uses a funky r3->r0 method involving ARPL?)

not in windoze, you don't use interrupt there anymore (well, only in some device drivers or so).

Well, on NT you can access the native API through interrupts... but the question is why you'd want to do it (at least for regular programs).

Are you wanted something like this? Accesing to registry without APIs?
Maybe author of this tool can help you...

Yes! And what? You can simply email the author or you can re-engeneering this file and try to understand the algorithms and concepts. Asm-coding is teaching us to dive deeper, imho.
Look at Privalov or JonhFound! They are incredible men! And I'm just an amateur next to them.
Well... If registry contains any kind of information it must have the format. And somethere in the world there is description of this format. And if you couldn't get it you can try to understand it by yourself.
But don't forget that registry format had changed from version to version. And this is may cause a problem...
Good luck! Smile
