FASM IRC Bot Prefix

103 views Asked by At

I've been trying to learn how to create an IRC bot in assembler from some old sources. Everything is going fine with my learning except for a prefix problem.

The prefix for the bot is:

CommandPrefix equ "^^"

And the length of the prefix is added with:

add eax, 2d

I want to change the prefix to just "^", but I am having trouble with figuring out what "add eax" should be changed too for it to work. Or even if that is the best way to do it. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Here is what the original code looks like to get some idea:

include "win32ax.inc"

entry Bot

CommandPrefix   equ "^^"


section '.code' code readable executable
