So heres my code

Code: Select all

void setText(char msg[256])
{
    int i;
    int tmp = strlen(msg);
    while(i<tmp)
    {
        i++;
        strcpy(text, &msg[i]);
        break;
    }
}


When I use this code, the typewritting works lol but it stamps the whole message and deletes it instead of types it

First off, why have the loop? The break statement will always break out of it, so just use an if. Second, each time you call that function it increases i by 1, and then sets text equal to the string starting at msg[i]. So when i is equal to 0, it shows the entire string, when i is equal to 1, it shows all but the first letter, and so on.

Alright, I'll use an if statement, and thanks! =) now I know what I have to do... well sort of I managed to get it to not go backwards, but instead it types the last letter first haha which is ok I can figure it out from here I think

Thanks sky

You could use strcat() for adding the characters to the text one by one.

I'm just using yours
