GetPrivateProfileString returns 0 if something goes wrong (can't find the ini file, can't find the section, can't find the key).
Your ini file doesn't have a key called "Path", so your buffer doesn't get filled with anything.

       @1:
      mov edi,offset hProfile

should be

Code Select Expand


      mov edi,offset hProfile
       @1:

or you're never going to get past the first byte in the buffer. It's a good idea to check for a NULL at the end of the string, too.

thx for your help


I it changed in this algo:

             mov edi,offset hProfile
             inc edi
          inc edi
          inc edi
          inc edi
          inc edi
          cmp byte ptr [edi],0
          jne @print
           je @ret
    @print: 
          invoke lstrcat,addr hbuff,edi
          invoke MessageBox,hWin,addr hbuff ,0,MB_OK
     @ret:

this works ! I have now only one ask whether it am also correct?

I'm not sure what you are trying to do here. GetPrivateProfileString will fill your buffer with whatever is after the "=" from the INI file and NULL-terminate it,
so I don't get why you add each character to your own buffer then show it...

Code Select Expand

    invoke MessageBox,hWin,addr hProfile ,0,MB_OK will do it in one.

I changed it! I do not point which you mean direct I hope that is correctly


              mov edi,offset hProfile
    @read:
             cmp byte ptr [edi],0
          je @ret
             cmp byte ptr [edi],"/"
             je @print
             inc edi
          jmp @read
    @print: 
               inc edi
          invoke lstrcat,addr hbuff,edi
          invoke MessageBox,hWin,addr hbuff  ,0,MB_OK
     @ret:
