Hello,

Poasm Version 13.00.49 reports the following error messages while assembling the code below :

Hello,

The code adapted for Uasm can be assembled without issues. The purpose is to test if the statement @InStr(t+1,var,<test>) is a valid one.

Code Select Expand

.386
.model flat,stdcall
option casemap:none

sample MACRO var

LOCAL t,temp

t INSTR <var>,<macro>
temp TEXTEQU %(t)
% echo temp

temp TEXTEQU %(@InStr(t+1,<var>,<test>))

% echo temp

ENDM

.code

start:

   sample <This is a macro test.>

   xor  eax,eax
   ret

END start

It's a tricky case with the first argument to INSTR and @InStr() being an optional expression (which can be almost anything).

Try the attached POASM version (13.00.57). This has to be last (macro) fix for a while, I think...

Hi Pelle,

Many thanks for your efforts. The new release V13.00.57 is solving the issue.
