Title: cMPSB ........
Post by: seymour_glass on April 25, 2006, 09:43:48 PM
Say i am using the  cmpsb to compare letters in 2 strings.  how is esi and edi affected as we move from one letter (or bit) to the next?  Are they simply incremented?  I tried to test it, but im not really getting any results that im expecting......
