how to use qeditor

[MichaelW]

Except for the problem that Vortex noted, your source is OK. One possible cause for your problem assembling is that the path for the working directory has an embedded space somewhere. If I put the source in the directory:

"C:\masm32\My\_TRY\New Folder"

Then I can load the file into QE no problem, but when I attempt to assemble it I get:

Assembling: C:\masm32\My\_TRY\New.asm
MASM : fatal error A1000: cannot open file : C:\masm32\My\_TRY\New.asm

Note how ML sees only the part of the path that precedes the space. This problem most frequently occurs when a source file is stored in a directory off of the "My Documents" directory. The obvious fix is to work in a directory where there are no spaces anywhere in the path.

Can anyone explain to me how QEditor can load the file and allow me to edit the file, but yet the compiler can't open it, is that right?

Louis,

The questions you are asking are basically all path related ones that as a programmer you should know. QE is just an editor that will edit and save text format files that are used by assemblers and compilers to build binary files.

Go to the MASM32 subforum and get the collection of batch files, put them in the right place and it will solve most of your path problems.
