Exception when the program is removing characters from the specified text

0

Task: write a program to remove the central character in all words of odd length in a given text. I did this (the idea of ​​the algorithm is to find and write the indexes by which the space is located (in the first cycle) and then rewrite the string with missing characters where necessary):

In order to load [esi + count_1] you need to load the value of count_1 into a register first. Otherwise it takes the address of count_1 plus the value of esi, which is not what you want.

Since count_1 is a byte, use:

movzx edx, byte ptr [count_1]
mov al, [esi+edx]
