[Solved] ASM Dos

[Ramzes]

Hello,

I'm again programing with ASM in AutoIt. Now I've problem with DOS functions.

I want to create the easiest function - console output.

My code:

#include <Memory.au3>
 
Global Const $pRemoteCode = _MemVirtualAlloc(0, 512, $MEM_COMMIT, $PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE)
Global Const $tCodeBuffer = DllStructCreate("byte[512]", $pRemoteCode)
 
$Text = "Hello"
$tString = DllStructCreate("char[" & StringLen($Text) + 1 & "]")
$pString = DllStructGetPtr($tString)
DllStructSetData($tCodeBuffer, 1, _
  "0x" & _
  "66BA" & Hex(Binary($pString))  ; mov dx, string ptr
  "B409" & _       ; mov ah, 9
  "CD21" & _       ;int 0x21
  "C3" _           ; ret
  )
$Ret = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "CallWindowProcW", _
  "ptr", $pRemoteCode, _
  "int", 0, _
  "int", 0, _
  "int", 0, _
  "int", 0)
MsgBox(32, "", $Ret[0])

Last I checked, AutoIt is for Windows. To run 'int 21h' you'd need to be running in DOS or a DOS emulator, and the code would need to be in a compiled 16-bit program (or 32-bit with DOS/4gw extensions).

*edit: confusing sentence

@Ascend4nt

You wrote 'confusing sentence' so I think it's possible, yes? If I'm wrong - correct me.

[Ascend4nt]

'Confusing sentence' was the reason for the edit. It's not possible. You are probably confusing Windows Console applications with DOS programs.

Thanks for reply.

So commands like copy, run etc. aren't working too?

I don't understand how AutoIt uses standard functions like FileRead, FileCopy or Run.

[Ascend4nt]

DOS-style commands work in the Console, but they are running under Windows, the same as AutoIt. With a compiled 16-bit DOS program, it can run under a DOS-emulator or VM, or even under NTVDM for that matter (which only operates under 32-bit O/S's). But again, for all these environments, the code has to be executed from a compiled DOS program.

Thank you again. Now I understand everything.

Topic to close.
