Convert an ASCIIZ string to a 32-bit unsigned integer. The ASCIIZ can be a string representing a positive integer, hexadecimal or binary number.
A hexadecimal and binary numbers are caseless. A hex number starts with either
0x
or simply x
.
A binary number contains only 0
and 1
followed by a single
b
character.
If the value is negative, contains invalid characters or requires more than a dword, the Carry flag will be set to indicate the string could not be converted.
%2 is a pointer. If no segment is provided for %2, then ES is assumed. Unless %2 is a code label, then CS will be assumed.
If %3 is SIGNED or SINT, then the output will be a signed 32-bit integer and a ASCIIZ string that represents a negative number will be permitted. However the negative symbol is forbidden for strings using hexadecimal or binary representations. For those, the high bit will indicate a negative value.
Examples:
StrToDWord dx:ax, di ; convert string at es:di to an unsigned integer. StrToDWord dx:ax, ASTR ; convert string at cs:ASTR to an unsigned integer. StrToDWord dx:ax, bx, sint ; convert string at es:bx to an signed integer.
