okay..
a string is made of an array of bytes
how would i...
create an array of strings
and index them properly? i'm confused here because for instance if i did
stringarray db 4 dup("TEST",0,"TEST1",0,"TEST02",0,"TEST003",0,"TEST04",0,TEST0005",0)
i cant see a way to index them fluently, as with a loop or sort
it has to be like:
i know maybe my code example aight right, but u know what i mean, how would i do it like this
like in visual basics, you would create a string array and.. access it like
mystring[10] = "my string at index 10"
its confusing, cause its a byte array!
would i make a multidimensional array?
ie,
array: dword x 256 bytes
[0]
[1]
[2]
how would i declare that properly?

it has to be like:
lea esi,stringarray
lea eax, [esi] ;; load address of "TEST" in eax
lea eax, [esi+5+6] ;; load address of "TEST" in eax
lea eax, [esi+5+7+7] ;; load address of "TEST" in eax
;;..and so on
i know maybe my code example aight right, but u know what i mean, how would i do it like this
lea esi,stringarray
mov ecx,1
@@:
mov address[ecx],[esi*ecx+4]
inc ecx
cmp ecx,dwArraySize

String arrays in the conventional sense are just an array of pointers to the strings.
And to access it:
[size=12]string1 db "Hello",0
string2 db "World", 0
stringarray dd offset string1, offset string2[/size]
And to access it:
[size=12]mov eax, stringarray
mov ecx, index
lea eax, [eax+ecx*4][/size]
0mg that was easy!! thanks!!
i was just making it too complicated. that really simplified things. made it clear. i dont know how i missed it. :x
thanks again!!
