    Hello!
    Is there anyone here that knows how to step in a buffer?
    Since I have problem with putting the whole code in this editor I try to explain my problem without the whole code.

    Lets say that I have a buffer declared as:

    Code:
    INBUFFER:    .skip 128
    
    And I have allready placed following in the buffer: 314+555

    In order to read this I step through the buffer in the positions 0 to 6. So, in my subroutines I first read 314, put it in a new buffer, OUTBUFFER, and then I put the +sign and thereafter the program shall start to read the number 5 at position 4. But this doesn't work out for me.
    Here's how I try to do it.
    Code:
    getinpos:                        
            movl    START_INPOS, %ecx        
            movl    %ecx, %ebx
            
    getchar:    
            movl    $INBUFFERT, %ebx
    
    START_INPOS has 4, which is correct, but someone told me that I'm overwriting ebx here. And I can understand that, but how should I do this. Now when starting to read, the subroutine starts to read at position 0 again , i e 3 and then 1 and so on.....

    Can anyone help me here?
