title: Check first character in String in assembly
body: <p>Im using NASM</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to compare the first character of a string in assembly to see if its blank.</p>
  
  <pre><code>            mov byte [NAME], 40
              lea dx, [NAME]
              mov ah, 0ah
              int 21h
  
              cmp [NAME],""
              je somewhere
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This doesnt work.. any advice?</p>
