Hi LowF,
which is exactly your problem with WriteFile? The function fails? Have you got problem to compile the file? Or something else...

Btw, this is the syntax of the function:

BOOL WriteFile(
HANDLE hFile, // handle to file to write to
LPCVOID lpBuffer, // pointer to data to write to file
DWORD nNumberOfBytesToWrite, // number of bytes to write
LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesWritten, // pointer to number of bytes written
LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped // pointer to structure needed for overlapped I/O
);

Important: the file must be created with GENERIC_WRITE flag.

I don't use tasm anymore but if I remember correctly you need to include the function using the Extrn keyword:

Extrn WriteFile:Proc

Now, you can call the function.
This is a simple example:

...
text_to_write db "example!",0
bytes_written dd 0
...
call WriteFile, handle_file, offset text_to_write, 8, offset bytes_written, 0

Hope it helps you...

zairon: the code is correct but you have to add stdcall to the model declaration... if you don't you have to push everything for your self


for the example

Hi NervGaz,
you are right, I was taking it for granted
