I\O queston

Say I want to go to a specific offset insted of just opening and starting at the start of the file, kinda like seekp in C++, how would I do it in Masm? Can I do it with the normal CreateFile or something? Can you show me how to do mit with just Masm and with Masm and windows api?

Search for info on SetFilePointer API

Ok,

SetFilePointer PROTO,

  handle:DWORD,hfile ; file handle

  nDistanceLo:SDWORD, ; bytes to move pointer

  pDistanceHi:PTR SDWORD, ; ptr to bytes to move

  moveMethod:DWORD ; starting point

INVOKE SetFilePointer,

  fileHandle,0,0,FILE_CURRENT


What exactly does it mean?

Say I want to have an option that shows only C and C++ files, how would I do it?
I've tried numorus things yet I can only seem to have one at a time :\.

db "C\C++ Files",0,"*.cpp",0

You should search for "*.c*" and then filter out any bad matches.

"*.c??" might be better in that case, though you'll still need to filter out in case of things like "*.car", "*.com", "*.cc", etc.

Anyway, if you're using GetOpenFileName, you can do this:

Code Select Expand

C_CppFiles db "C/C++ Files",0,"*.c;*.cpp",0,0
