Hi all,
I have a small assignment that my lecturer gave me about writing an array into memory in hard disk or floppy disk. Can anybody help me because i'm just learn assembler.
Thanks..
nurul,
Its a very simple task but members will not do your homework for you. Tell us what you have learnt and what you are learning and someone may be able to help you. Is it 16 or 32 bit assembler ? Is it for Windows or for DOS ?
here's a list of API functions that you will find useful:
CreateFile (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fs/createfile.asp) (create/open a file)
WriteFile (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fs/writefile.asp) (write to the file)
CloseHandle (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/closehandle.asp) (close the file)
Sorry...
I'm doing it for 16 bit in DOS. I found out we can use int 13H . can it be implemented?
OK,
You must have some course guidelines to work by, which assembler and how much do you know so far.
hi guys i have something as him, itried to work it but it dowsnt write the text to the file i specfied
here is the code i did:
;append some text to a file
prints msg2 ; printing some text that ask the user to write what he wants to add to the file
mov ah, 0ah ; and then storing it in a string named appnd
lea dx, appnd
int 21h
mov ah, 42h ; this the part where i am facing the problem
mov bx , handle ; i am workingaccordingto the steps given in the norton guide
lea dx, appnd ; where ah = 42h the function, ds:dx the offset from the start<<< i think this the mistake
mov al, 2 ;al is from where i wana to add
int 21h
jc err
mov AH,3Eh
mov BX ,handle ; this for closing the handle ??>>>i dont know if it right or know to close it
int 21h
please help us in resloving this problem i dont have much time left
thanks
