If I have a variable like this

name = "George"

how do you print that out in DGDK? dbPrint(Name) does not work.

You could just add a dbPrint overload to one of your commonly included header files / make a new one:

That is a good idea!, I am still pretty inexperienced at C++, I know a lot but know there is tons more to learn. Not quite sure how this would work.

If I add this to a header file and just used the dbPrint command normally it would work? and would you be able to do the conversions the same way?, char to int and int to char?

The risk is that writing for example dbPrint("Hello") would not compile due to it being ambigous; that could map to either the char* version or the std::string version (through an implicit cast).

But apart from that, yes, add it to a header file (that you include of course) and it should work. It's called function overloading and is a quite helpful feature.
