DATE: STRING MANIPULATION OPERATIONS IN 8086 MICROPROCESSOR

AIM:

To write the assembly language program for performing the string manipulation operations in 8086 microprocessor APPARATUS REQUIRED: SL.N O 1. 2 3 ITEM Microprocessor kit Key board Power Supply SPECIFICATION 8086 +5 V dc QUANTITY 1 1 1

ALGORITHM:
(i)

COPING A STRING 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Initialize the data segment .(DS) Initialize the extra data segment .(ES) Initialize the start of string in the DS. (SI) Initialize the start of string in the ES. (DI) Move the length of the string (FF) in CX register. Move the byte from DS TO ES, till CX=0.
SEARCHING A STRING

(ii)

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Initialize the extra segment .(ES) Initialize the start of string in the ES. (DI) Move the number of elements in the string in CX register. Move the byte to be searched in the AL register. Scan for the byte in ES. If the byte is found ZF=0, move the address pointed by ES:DIto BX.
FIND AND REPLACE

(iii)

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Initialize the extra segment .(E S) Initialize the start of string in the ES. (DI) Move the number of elements in the string in CX register. Move the byte to be searched in the AL register. Store the ASCII code of the character that has to replace the scanned byte in BL register. Scan for the byte in ES. If the byte is not found, ZF1 and repeat scanning. If the byte is found, ZF=1.Move the content of BL register to ES:DI.
