| [A5] al_save_bitmap can't pass a variable for the filename? |

I'm trying to save a bitmap using a name specified elsewhere in the program using a variable. I've tried a bunch of different ways but maybe I'm missing something here? "fileName" is a const char* in the (relevant) code below: 1ALLEGRO_BITMAP *newSheet = CreateBlankSheet(gridColor, backColor, cellWidth, cellHeight, gridRows, gridColumns, true);
2if (al_save_bitmap(fileName, newSheet))
3{
4 soundBank.PlayInstance("Done");
5 LoadEntries();
6 cursorPos = entries[0].inputPosition.x;
7 currentItemSelection = 0;
8 maxItemSelection = entries.size();
9}
Maybe I just need more sleep... |

Do you get some error? Does the fileName have an extension and if so what is it? "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

Yeah, it just returns false... the filename comes from the following: fileName = al_cstr(entries[i].value); Where entries[i].value is an ALLEGRO_USTR The filename example value is "test.png" WAIT! I see it now... it was "TEST.PNG" and I suppose the function only can determine file type with a lowercase name... odd! Thanks for letting me think out loud man... appreciate your time. |
