;; Ex. 17.1 (b) on p.504.  Look for the index of the first entry  of 123 in B 
;; array, and set di to this index.
        include pcmac.inc
        .model small
        .stack 100h

        .data
B       dw          1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 123, 8, 9, 10
        .code
prog    proc
        extrn   putdec : near   ; compile with util.lib.
        extrn   getdec : near
        mov     ax, @data
        mov     ds, ax
        mov     es, ax          ; initialize es
        cld                     ; set df = 0
        lea     di, B           ; destination
        mov     cx, 10          ; loop the lenght of the string, here is 10.
again:
        mov     ax, 123         ; look for 123
        repne   scasw           ; scan until found or the end of cx
        jne     not_found       ; if scanning reaches the end, then not found
        mov     ax, 10          ; ax = 10
        sub     ax, cx          ; ax = 10 - current iteration = index
        mov     di, ax          ; set di = index
        jmp     done            ; once found, jump end
not_found:
        mov     di, -1          ; if not found, set di to -1
done:
        mov     ax, di          ; prints out the content of di.
        call    putdec

        mov         ah, 4ch     ; return code into ah
        int         21h         ; function code for exit to os

prog    endp
        end         prog
