NRF24L01 Chat using the nokia 5110 display and push buttons.

hello I'm trying to add push buttons 5 of them each button is number 1,2,3 for button one 4,5,6 for button 2 789 for button 3 0 for button 4 and send text for button 5. so if i put button 1 i get number 1 if i push it two times i get 1 and 2 for the first button so if i hit the send button it sends number 12 in chat right now i can only send it in serial monitor i have no clue how to do that for the push buttons with this chat i really need help code is below can someone please help me?

i can not post the ASCII because the forum say i went over the limit of what i can post.

You can make attachments.

How to use this forum

ohhh because i couldn't add the whole sketch in the forum i see. i will post it. i totally forgot because i never used it before. thank you.
