The MASM Forum Archive 2004 to 2012

I wont to out the comment symbol <;> by ECHO directive.
Is it possible by MASM ???
I used before echo. It was no effect.

Try putting an exclamation mark before it. The exclamation mark is MASM's escape character for this sort of thing:

ECHO !;

Alternatively, try using TEXTEQU:

commentchar TEXTEQU <;>
ECHO commentchar
