I need to write names from keyboard and then display them, one on each line. They should be displayed with an index before of them. For example if I write the names elena and maria the should be displayed as 1.elena 2.maria
I tried adding a counter variable but I have some errors when I try to run the program in DosBox. Can someone help me? Here is my clean label that is outputting the names:
lista:
mov dx, offset nume
print_names:
push dx
mov dl, 13 ; carriage return
mov ah, 02h
int 21h
mov dl, 10 ; linefeed
mov ah, 02h
int 21h
pop dx
mov dx, offset index
mov ah, 9
int 21h
inc byte ptr index
mov dx, offset nume
mov ah, 09h
int 21h
; (*)
add dx, 5 + 1
cmp dx, numePointer ; check if the current name is the last one
jb print_names
jmp bucla ; return to main loop
The addition is destroying the DX pointer for the name to be displayed!
Why did you put the additional code between proc endp?
punct db '.' ,10, '$' does not need the 10. Should be punct db '.$' or even better, combine it with index like in index db '?.$'.
And still better, combine the newline with it too:
lista:
mov dx, offset nume
print_names:
push dx ; (1)
mov dx, offset numeIndex
mov ah, 09h
int 21h
inc byte ptr [numeIndex + 2] ; "1" -> "2" -> "3" ...
pop dx ; (1)
mov ah, 09h
int 21h
add dx, 5 + 1
cmp dx, numePointer ; check if the current name is the last one
jb print_names
jmp bucla ; return to main loop
...
numeIndex db 13, 10, 49, 46, 36
