does anyone know why this function isn't working?

void printspritetext(double posx, double posy,char* texttosprite){
int textnumber;
for(int b=0; b<dbLen(texttosprite); b++){
if(dbRight(dbLeft(texttosprite,b),1)=="0")textnumber=0;

dbPasteSprite(textsprite,posx+20*b,posy);
}
}

The variable textsprite is the sprite I'm using for the text. Its a 65 frame animated sprite with each frame containing a different character. Right now Everything works as should except that each character is displayed as a 0 (the first frame of the sprite). So for example if I do printspritetext(20,20,"testing123"); then ten zeros print onto the screen rather then the text that should be shown.

I dont know much but it looks to me that if you put 0 into the sting you are telling it to load frame 0 which doesn't exist. I may be wrong but attempt to use 0 in your string to see what happens. If that is the case just add 1 to all the textnumbers...

Also the snippet here doesnt compile, there is a variable called textsprite that isn't defined which I can only assume represents the sprite that isn't uploaded making it difficult for at least me to debug in my vc++ unless I'm stupid...

Sorry I didn't really think of fixing up the snippet to get it to compile on its own (its just the relevant part cut out from the game). Like I said yeah textsprite represents the sprite I was talking about. Your right I hadn't realized it but well it wasn't the cause of the problem all of the numbers where off by one so I fixed that. Here it is again. It should compile fine like this and I attached the image file.

You don't need to use left/right functions to cut off one character from a string, you can index the string as an array (it is an array of characters, after all). Also, string comparison is slow and it forces you to write a separate line for each index. You can use character comparison, but it's even better to consider that a character is stored with its ASCII code which is a number. The following code should do the same as the function above but it's much shorter:

+ Code Snippet

void printspritetext(double posx, double posy, char* texttosprite)
{
	int textnumber = 0;

	for(int b=0; b<dbLen(texttosprite); b++)
	{
		char C = texttosprite[b];

		// ASCII codes:
		// '0' = 48, '9' = 57
		// 'A' = 65, 'Z' = 90
		// 'a' = 97, 'z' = 122
		// '.' = 46, '!' = 33, '?' = 63

		if (C >= 48 && C <= 57) textnumber = C - 48;
		else if (C >= 65 && C <= 90) textnumber = C - 29;
		else if (C >= 97 && C <= 122) textnumber = C - 87;
		else if (C == 46) textnumber = 62;
		else if (C == 33) textnumber = 63;
		else if (C == 63) textnumber = 64;

		dbSetSpriteFrame(textsprite,textnumber+1);
		dbPasteSprite(textsprite,posx+15*b,posy);
	}
