16-bit real mode table scanner?

Post by imate900 »

I'd love how I can scan for different values using tables. Say for example:

Code: Select all

table:
;    name    value
dd "Hello", "World"
dd "World", "Hello"
and:

Code: Select all

table:
;  numb     value
dd 0x01,    "Hello"
dd 0x02,    "World"
Current work on a OS: SauOS (project homepage: http://code.google.com/p/sauos/)

Look at what higher level programming languages do and implement that?

std::map, HashMap ?
