Consider either clearing whole eax register before a dword wise compare using a byte ( Like xor eax,eax ).  There might be left overs, that would cause your logic to fail.

- OR -

Perform the comparasion with just the al register, if all your inspecting is one byte.  ( in your .if statement. )

Thanks P1.

Paul,
       I try to upload stuff that I know works.(At least till I start changing it up again)

Question 1
REG_BINARY

When it says binary data in any form, what does that specifically entail.
(as opposed to REG_SZ used for strings)

Question 2
How can I automate this to check for multiple characters. I tried inc esi.

lea esi, szBigBuffer[0]   ;look at 1st character in buffer for a match
lodsb

.if EAX==31h ; the '1' character

[Light-I]

lodsb automaticaly changes esi regard of direction flag (switches inc/dec) from Status Register. Don't you read /masm32/help/opcodes.hlp ?

It is a mystery.  Join the club.
