Hello alltogether!

My question is:
I 'm coding a program, which generates itself a *.html-file.
Normally, under Linux, a CRLF is done, by a "db 10" char, right?
But, if my generated *.html-files should be usable under both, Linux and Windows, I will have to use sth like "db 13,10". Is this correct?

Maybe better understandable...
Example 1:

Code:

msg1 db '<html>',10,'<head>',10,'<title>

or Example 2:

Code:

msg1 db '<html>',13,10,'<head>',13,10,'<title>

Which would be the right way, for getting readable and editable *.html-Files?
I hope someone understands my problem. Smile

Sure, CR-LF is pretty standard in Windows.

Although a lot of editors today can also cope with just LF without any problem. Some of the better editors also support the MAC style CR and can save-as any of the Windows/*nix/MAC formats that you choose.

Thx for the ultrafast answer! Smile

So, Example 2 of my first post is the right syntax?

I think there is no right syntax. My point was that is depends upon what OS and what editing tools you are using.

Most likely, the files will be viewed/edited on Windows, and most likely in Notepad. Therefor, I think, the 13,10-thing will be good.
So, I hope, I can handle my other coding-problems on myself... I hope... Smile

There seems to be another problem in this "project"...
I want my asm-prog to create a html-file. The necessary html-sourcecode is stored in certain variables,
for example:

Quote:

msg1 db '<html><head><title>Slide-Hacker by Andy</title></head>',13,10,'<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#eeeeee">',13,10,'<center>',13,10,'<font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size=3>Bild '
size1 = $-msg1

As U can see, the line is very long, and therefor, the html-source is not good to read, for the case, I want to change it.
Can I split the variable in more lines, while it will still be ONE variable?

Use a backslash:

Code:

msg1 db '<html><head><title>Slide-Hacker by Andy</title></head>',13,10,\
     '<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#eeeeee">',13,10,'<center>',13,10,\
     '<font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size=3>Bild '
size1 = $-msg1

Another little problem (and maybe the proof, that this is right in Linux thread Wink

I have this

Quote:

mov eax, 3
mov ebx, 0
mov ecx, str
mov edx, 3
int 128

str db 0

...but fasm says "error: invalid operand."
Google and any search function didn't help me.
Maybe U can?

I just want to input a number between 0 and 999.

STR—Store Task Register

So "mov ecx, str" is like "mov ecx, xor", you have to use a different name for the string (note that fasm rejects "str db 0" also because again, it is like defining "mov db 0").

[edit]And if you want a 3 bytes input buffer then you need "string rb 3".

OK, that was a silly fault by me, but now it works.
Just the last task to use the given number by input as variable in repeating (don't know the english word...) and in the same time as output-string and in the same time as part of a filename.

But that's my task for tomorrow!
So thanks for the answer! Smile
