I have recently created a memory scanner in MASM32 in DLL form that can be injected into a given process and can scan for an array of bytes or a string in a given memory region. This is all working perfectly, and all is going as I want except I want to be able to allow variable input for things like start and end memory address for scan and also the bytes (currently I have hardcoded a few things I wanted scanned for).

I wanted to make these options available via a console. Normally in an executable, I would've used StdIn and StdOut but for some reason these don't work in the DLL. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this ?

I have debugged the StdOut call and it fails on GetStdHandle. In normal executables, this would happen if you assembled/linked without the "console assemble & link" option and just used the "assemble & link" option.

I am using the default DLL "makeit.bat" file:
