Copy a string: Difference between revisions

If you're using the "Pascal style" where the string length is prepended before the string itself, you can use this method instead, assuming your string is shorter than 255 bytes in length.

<lang z80>ld hl,myString

ld c,(hl)

ld b,0

inc c

ld de,buffer

ldir ;copies from (HL) to (DE), BC times.

ret

myString:

byte 5 ;len("Hello")

byte "Hello"

buffer:

byte 0

byte 0,0,0,0,0</lang>
