GetPrivateProfileString returns 0 if something goes wrong (can't find the ini file, can't find the section, can't find the key).
Your ini file doesn't have a key called "Path", so your buffer doesn't get filled with anything.

Code Select

       @1:
	      mov edi,offset hProfile

should be

Code Select


	      mov edi,offset hProfile
       @1:

or you're never going to get past the first byte in the buffer. It's a good idea to check for a NULL at the end of the string, too.

thx for your help

I it changed in this algo:

      mov edi,offset hProfile
      inc edi
     inc edi
     inc edi
     inc edi
     inc edi
     cmp byte ptr [edi],0
     jne @print
     je @ret
@print:
     invoke lstrcat,addr hbuff,edi
     invoke MessageBox,hWin,addr hbuff ,0,MB_OK
     @ret:

this works ! I have now only one ask whether it am also correct?

I'm not sure what you are trying to do here. GetPrivateProfileString will fill your buffer with whatever is after the "=" from the INI file and NULL-terminate it,
so I don't get why you add each character to your own buffer then show it...

Code Select

invoke MessageBox,hWin,addr hProfile ,0,MB_OK will do it in one.

I changed it! I do not point which you mean direct I hope that is correctly

mov edi,offset hProfile
@read:
      cmp byte ptr [edi],0
     je @ret
      cmp byte ptr [edi],"/"
      je @print
      inc edi
     jmp @read
@print:
inc edi
     invoke lstrcat,addr hbuff,edi
     invoke MessageBox,hWin,addr hbuff ,0,MB_OK
     @ret:
