I need this program to write out a file with the first 47 values of the Fibonacci series calculated. My procedure correctly displays the 47 entries using procedures included from a provided library however it does not print them out to the file.
Im fairly sure that its storing the array in the esi, but my fib.bin file only has one entry and its not the beginning of the array. I'm fairly certain all I need to do is use the esi, but I cant figure it out, Thanks in advance.
TITLE Fibonacci Numbers (FibNums.asm)

fileHandle DWORD ?
filename BYTE "fib.bin",0
FIB_COUNT = 47
array DWORD FIB_COUNT DUP(?)

mov edx,OFFSET filename
call CreateOutputFile
mov fileHandle,eax

You have to increment esi:
...
L1: add eax,ebx
call WriteDec
call Crlf
mov [esi], eax
xchg eax, ebx
add esi, 4 ; move forward 4 Bytes (4*8 bits) = 1 dword (1*32 bits)
loop L1
...
