Quick indexing question

[Ian_B]

I'm lost in all these addressing options...  :eek  OK, I have a table in my .data section like so...

Code Select Expand


.data
    SomeTableData \
        db 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9      ; etc.


Can I index into this using this form?

Code Select Expand

mov al, BYTE PTR SomeTableData[ecx]

Or do I have to do:

Code Select Expand


lea edx, SomeTableData
mov al, BYTE PTR [ecx+edx]


EDIT: my mind went blank there for a while, of course the first one is OK! I can't remove this post, maybe someone else will find the reminder useful.

and what about using for example :)

Code Select Expand

  mov al,SomeTableData+5

or if you need:

Code Select Expand

 
mov ecx,3
mov al,SomeTableData[ecx][2]
