Copying a string variable to the Win clipboard

[frktons]

I added the tags [<code>] and [</code>] so the screen is copied into the clipboard sorrounded
by the tags to be posted directly into the Forum:

; -------------------------------------------------------------------------
; The text is extracted from the Screen Buffer and prepared to be copied
; into the Windows Clipboard with code tags enclosing it and with
; LF+CR at the end of each text line.

CopyScreenText PROC


    lea  esi, TopCode
    lea  edi, TextResults

    movq mm7, qword ptr [esi]
    movq qword ptr [edi], mm7

    add  edi, Eight   
    lea  esi, SavedScreen

    mov  ecx, CharNumber
   
    xor  eax, eax
    xor  ebx, ebx



NextCharText:

    mov eax, [esi]
   
    mov BYTE PTR [edi], al

    add esi, Four
    add edi, One
    inc ebx

    cmp ebx, MaxCols
    jl  GoOn

    mov BYTE PTR [edi], CR
    mov BYTE PTR [edi + 1], LF
    add edi, Two
    xor ebx, ebx

GoOn:

    dec ecx
    jnz NextCharText

SetNULL:

    lea  esi, BottomCode

    movq mm7, qword ptr [esi]
    movq qword ptr [edi], mm7

    add  edi, Eight   

    mov WORD PTR [edi], 00A0h;  CR + NULL

End_cycle:

    ret
   
CopyScreenText ENDP

The New Testbed is almost ready. Coming soon the first complete, but still unoptimized, version.  :P

well - if all else fails - write the screen to a text file for them   :P
in fact, it might be nice if the text did not have the line characters in it
there is no rule that says the information that is pasted in the forum looks the same as the screen
also, with all the line characters, forum thread pages get long very fast

I really like line characters, but instead of copying the whole screen I think I'll only copy to clipboard
the part that contains the algo results, leaving out the empty one:

Of course everybody can post the results in any way he likes.

I like readable stuff, well spaced, well aligned, well commented, even if it takes some lines more
as you can see from my coding style. These are old habits of an old ex professional coder. Bear
with me if you can  :lol

I agree, the way you are currently formatting the screens is very good.

I like your your judicious use of these.
