console string

Marz Krishna

How do i get a string from the console into an array.
the program i wrote would store a string of 11 characters, but i couldn't figure out how to get the ret key to stop the string. i see some wierd code for the ret, but i'm not sure i implimented it correctly, ultimately i just want to be able to use null terminated strings from the text console.
i was using the debugin command with \L \E (\CR) for the end character, but i couldn't get the input to terminate after the carriage return, and would have to keep typing empty characters until i had 11 characters.

Hi , you almost have it right , I think you misunderstood the end of string example. The "E" can be any character you want as a termination character. Below is an example with carriage return.

x VAR Byte(11)
main:
DEBUGIN STR x\11\CR
DEBUG STR x
GOTO main
