Anyone know how to pass the byte value to this macro, I've tried numerous ways & can't get it to work :(
Neil,
Give this a blast.

Great! thanks hutch :U I like Macros they can save you a lot of work, that's if you have learned how to use them correctly. There is not a lot of documentaion on Macros, at least I haven't found it yet & it can lead to a lot of head scratching, but with the great help available on this Forum maybe it's not necessary.

UtillMasm,
Are you saying you can't get it to work?
It works for me. The reason I'm using it is that it does the same as print ustr$ (eax) but you can do away with the instruction movzx eax,al, which should be quicker unless the Macro is slower, but then again it still simplifies things a little.
don't mind, it's not for you, because you are using masm32 verson 10.
