Output Non-Zero Terminated String

[Astro]

Hi,

Maybe a bit of an odd one, but anyway...

How can I print a NON zero-terminated string? In the first byte of my string I have 00 and it of course StdOut thinks it hit the zero terminator and so prints nothing.  ::)  Not useful for my purpose.

I'm struggling to find how to print an arbitrary, non-zero terminated string.

Best regards,
Astro.

        .DATA

AString db 0,'Some String'

        .DATA?

hStdOut dd ?
RdWrCnt dd ?

        .CODE

        INVOKE  GetStdHandle,
                STANDARD_OUTPUT_HANDLE
        mov     hStdOut,eax

        INVOKE  WriteFile,
                hStdOut,
                ADDR AString,
                SIZEOF AString,
                ADDR RdWrCnt,
                NULL

Ahhh! I saw that earlier and wondered.

Thanks!

Best regards,

btw - the null should appear as a space (white-space character)
255 is also supposed to be a white-space, but some video cards put a centered dot there
i think windows manages character maps, though - so who knows

With Windows you check the font used in CHARMAP iof you have it installed, otherwise pinch it from win2000.
