NAME

       replace_extension  -  Replaces  filename+extension with a new extension
       tail. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       char *replace_extension(char *dest, const char  *filename,  const  char
       *ext, int size);

DESCRIPTION

       Replaces  the  specified  filename+extension with a new extension tail,
       storing at most `size' bytes into the `dest' buffer.  If  the  filename
       doesn't have any extension at all, `ext' will be appended to it, adding
       a dot character if needed. You can use the same buffer  both  as  input
       and  output  because  Allegro  internally  works on a copy of the input
       before touching `dest'. Example:

          replace_extension(buf, "C:\\game\\prog.exe",
                            "dat", sizeof(buf));

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a copy of the `dest' parameter.
