Title: Working with byte data of Strings.
Post by: Citric on February 11, 2005, 03:46:26 AM

I am developing a design for processing a file, with a limited number of character sequences, 2 3 4 or 5 character long, seperated by spaces.

When working with the asscii value of the character, ie the character byte.

Should i be processing using al bl ... registers or should i process with eax ebx ... ?
and is there any performance gain/loss using either way.

Thanks Adam

Adam,

It will depend on what operations you are performing but generally you work on character data at a BYTE level. Give us some idea of the operation type you are performing and we can probably pont you in the right direction.
