Problem with sprinter.s, a reduced version of sprintf (GAS)

Apr 24th, 2008

Wohoo, first post.
I have a problem with my code, the problem is that instead of writing "%" in res, when the pattern "%%" shows up, it writes it out as "%%" anyways. Currently I have it working so it works as strcpy. Seriously, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. No matter what I do I can't make the loop process "%%". Here's the relevant code:
