dup assembly language

Here is the problem statement:
>> WAP to take a string from user and then display it.

solution( what i have found till now)

.MODEL SMALL

.DATA
DISP1 DB 0DH,0AH,"Enter the desired string=",0DH,0AH,"$"
DISP2 DB 0DH,0AH,"The stored string is=",0DH,0AH,"$"
STRIP DB (?)

.CODE
        MOV AX,@DATA
        MOV DS,AX

        MOV AH,09H
        LEA DX,DISP1
        INT 21H

        MOV CL,07H
        LEA SI,STRIP

LOOP2:
        MOV AH,01H
        INT 21H
               
        MOV [SI],AL

        INC SI
        DEC CL
        JNZ LOOP2

        MOV AH,09H
        LEA DX,DISP2
        INT 21H

        MOV CL,07H
        LEA SI,STRIP

LOOP1:
        MOV AH,02H
        LEA DL,[SI]
        INT 21H

        INC SI
        DEC CL
        JNZ LOOP1



        MOV AH,4CH
        INT 21H

        END

the problem:
I am able to take input from user succesfully, but it is not displayed properly .
I request some experienced member to please help me out.

Also if possible, please advice me on troubleshooting process.
Thanks in advance.

assembly language db

Have you tried changing LEA DL,[SI] to MOV DL,[SI]

How is memory for STRIP allocated? Have you considered defining it as:
STRIP DB 00H,00H,00H,00H,00H,00H...

mov si,offset str1

@jayson
NOT GOOD, When i use the syntax as adviced by you, i am experiencing an error in line 38 , that is
"LEA DL,[SI] "

Added after 5 minutes:

got it,
i changed the syntax to

STRIP DB 10 DUP(?)

and the line 38 to MOV DL,SI

and the code works..now need to verify which line had the error.

Added after 4 minutes:

Guys, please help me out why the correction works?

in line 38 i earlier tried LEA Dl,STRIP
but it didnt work.

similarly

STRIP DB DUP(?) doesn't work

why?

 

[Jayson]

what is ah/ assembly language

At minimum LEA needs a 16-bit destination register to store the address, DL is an 8-bit register.

STRIP DB DUP(?) is invalid since the syntax for DUP is:
count DUP (initialvalue [[, initialvalue]]...)

what is 0dh in assembly language

Thanks sir.

dup (?) assembly language

Here is a program to take a string from user, then test how many times a given char occurs in the string.

.MODEL SMALL

.DATA
MSG1 DB 0DH,0AH,"ENTER THE STRING=",0DH,0AH,"$"
MSG2 DB 0DH,0AH,"ENTER THE CHARACTER TO BE SEARCHED=",0DH,0AH,"$"
MSG3 DB 0DH,0AH,"THE COUNT OF CHARACTER IS =",0DH,0AH,"$"
COUNT DB 01 DUP()
STR1 DB 10 DUP()
CHAR DB 01 DUP()

.CODE
          MOV AX,@DATA
          MOV DS,AX
          MOV ES,AX

          MOV AH,09H
          MOV DX,OFFSET MSG1
          INT 21H

          MOV CX,07H
          MOV SI,OFFSET STR1

LOOP1:    MOV AH,01H
          INT 21H

          MOV [SI],AL

          INC SI
          DEC CX

          JNZ LOOP1

          MOV AH,09H
          MOV DX,OFFSET MSG2
          INT 21H

          MOV SI,OFFSET CHAR

          MOV AH,01H
          INT 21H

          MOV [SI],AL

          MOV CX,07H
          MOV DI,OFFSET STR1
          XOR BL,BL
          MOV SI,OFFSET CHAR
          CLD

SCAN:
          MOV AL,[SI]
          SCASB 
          JNZ NEXT1
          INC BL
NEXT1:
          INC SI
          DEC CL
          JNZ SCAN

          ADD BL,30H
          LEA SI,COUNT
          MOV [SI],BL

             


          

                   
          MOV [SI],BL


          MOV AH,09H
          MOV DX,OFFSET MSG3
          INT 21H

          MOV AH,02H
          MOV DL,OFFSET COUNT
          INT 21H

          MOV AH,4CH
          INT 21H


          END

I was able to get the string from user, but i guess there's something wrong in the later part.

assembly language dup

I don't see an error at first look. Trace execution in debug.

P.S.: I wonder why you are using pointers for simple variables. You could write e.g.

MOV Count,AL

as well.

mov dl,[si]

i will try that.. thanks.
