Str$ (db) ?

[ookami]

Str$ macro works only with dd variables, but not less or more.

What should I do to display with  print db, dw, ax, etc ?

Thanks

Sorry for all my noob's questions...

there are a few different ways to do it
one way is to use MOVSX, assuming you want to treat them as signed values

Code Select Expand

;for a byte
        movsx   eax,byte ptr MyByte
        print   str$(eax)
;for a word
        movsx   eax,word ptr MyWord
        print   str$(eax)
MOVSX converts signed bytes or words to dwords by sign-extending them
MOVZX is similar - it converts unsigned bytes or words to dwords by zero-extending them

Str$ macro works only with dd variables, but not less or more.

The Masm32 library macro is lowercase str$() and is indeed meant for dwords.
In contrast, the MasmBasic Str$ macro swallows almost everything, including byte and word registers, xmm regs, REAL vars, qwords etc.
