  I try to write console application and i need to parse options but i didn't find any library for processing strings. Also i had seen to cmd.asm and found strings like this:

  Code: Select all

  no_kill:
   cmp dword [tic_table+600],'paus'
   jne no_pause
   cmp byte [tic_table+604],'e'
   jne no_pause
   cmp dword [count],5
   je pause1
  

  Is it bad written code or string lib not yet implemented?

The string lib is not implented yet, and i'm not sure if we actually need one..

please, read the section 'string operations' in the flat assembler's user manual:
http://flatassembler.net/docs.php?article=manual#2.1.8

I hope this helps you

PS: the code you showed is very fast and small, i dont see a problem with it

Ok. For example i need to parse something like this:
--loaddrv=USB -v --config="config.ini"

I really don't how i can parse this string without strcmp, strstr, strlen, strsep functions. I think only for parse options i must write near 100 lines (maybe more). This functions really simplify life

feel free to make such a library then

Or maybe we can port something like FasmLIB http://fasmlib.x86asm.net/
(I would probably still parse it by hand anyway :p)
