Okay maybe I am just having a general brainfart here, but how do I allow the user to specify the name of the file s/he wants to save? I am reading the typed name into the buffer using readykey(). I am also using save_bitmap(filenamehere, eg, eg); Thanks in adavance:) |

If you've read the user input to a buffer called save_name, then: save_bitmap(save_name, bmp, pal)

for example i've read into the buffer... called buffer the user types "myfile" then all I do is use save_bitmap(buffer, bmp, pal); |

Quote: then all I do is use save_bitmap(buffer, bmp, pal); Yes. I'm also assuming that as you're adding the input to the buffer that you're checking for characters that aren't allowed in filenames (Windows doen't allow /\:*?"<>|, and I dont know about other OSes).

You can also use the standard Allegro file_select_ex which does the whole "keyboard input" thing for you...
