writing to a file in nasm using system calls
- by yurib
As part of an assignment I'm supposed to write to a file using system calls. Everything works fine except when I try to open the file in gedit (linux), it says it can't identify the character encoding. Notepad (on windows) opens the file just fine. Why doesn't it work on linux ?
here's the code:
section .text
global _start
_start:
mov EAX, 8
mov EBX, filename
mov ECX, 0700
int 0x80
mov EBX, EAX
mov EAX, 4
mov ECX, text
mov EDX, textlen
int 0x80
mov EAX, 6
int 0x80
mov eax, 1
int 0x80
section .data
filename db "./output.txt", 0
text db "hello world", 0
textlen equ $ - text
thanks :)
