Compilation

You need to use DOSBOX and TASM in order to be able to compile&run this program.

tasm arcanoid.asm /l/zi
tlink arcanoid.obj /tdc
.\arcanoid.com

How to use

The program asks for the FILENAME of the file to be parsed. After launching, all email addresses from FILENAME will be in the output.txt file

Problems I faced and solved

-> When parsing large files (more than 50,000 bytes), you have to read the file in parts, since it is a COM program and only uses 16-bit registers. Hence the problem that email addresses could break when read.

-> I needed to count the number of email addresses found. If it was more than 2¹⁶, it caused additional problems because I can't even work with DOUBLE WORD. To do this, I created a procedure smart_inc, which makes counts up to 1,000,000, in decimal notation.
