how can I , if even possible , print a string or char array out to the
screen using the textout  or textout_centre allegro functions?

so far i have only used the functions as follows ::

textout (screen, font , " Rotate Left  " , 300 , 125, color1);

using the string  like that

but what if i want to  use a variable in place of the  " Rotate Left " part
?

do i have to use char[]  or string  ?.... i haven't been able to get string
to work at all and haven't tried the char array yet.

Is this possible or do i have to make a new toextout function?

Thanks

Tony
