How can I fix my Caesar Cipher implementation in assembly language to read multi-digit keys?

Advertisements

My code implements the Caesar Cipher, it asks the user the name of the input file which contains the string i want to be encrypted/decrypted, the name of the output file and the key/cipher, my problem is that it is only reading the first number of the key, if i give it a number with two digits as a key then it only reads the first, like 14, 15, it only reads the 1. How can i fix this? Here is the code:

.model flat, stdcall
option casemap:none

I think the problem is with the atodw function:

invoke StdOut, addr keyPrompt
invoke StdIn, addr keyBuffer, 256

invoke atodw, addr keyBuffer
mov ecx, eax

>Solution :

invoke atodw, addr keyBuffer
mov eax, eax

mov eax, eax There’s little point in moving EAX to EAX

Seeing how you use the key (sub al, byte ptr [keyBuffer] and add al, byte ptr [keyBuffer]), you should write:

invoke atodw, addr keyBuffer
mov    byte ptr [keyBuffer], al
