Defining Strings

To create a string data definition, enclose a sequence of characters in quotation marks. A string is ended with a null byte, a byte containing the value 0. 
   preface  BYTE  "Hello", 0
Each character uses a byte of storage. The above code is equal to: 
   preface  BYTE  'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', 0
A string can be spread across multiple lines, for example: 
   preface  BYTE  "Assembly language for Intel computers", 0Dh, 0Ah
            BYTE  "A book for IA-32 processor architecture.", 0
The hexadecimal bytes and (carriage-return line-feed) advance the cursor to the beginning of the next line of standard output. The continuation character () may be used to concatenate two lines into a single program statement. For example, the following two statements are the same: 
   preface  BYTE  "Assembly language for Intel computers", 0
   preface  \
            BYTE  "Assembly language for Intel computers", 0

      ‘Yes,’ he said. ‘Just not these four.’”
