Char * character and string

[Chris Pons]

Thank you for the reply. However, I've run into another problem.

I changed:

-----------

char * file;

this()
{
this.filename = "test.bmp";
}

---------------

To:

----------------

char * file

this()
{
this.filename = toStringz("test.bmp");
}

-----------------------

I am getting this error:

Error	1	Error: cannot implicitly convert expression 
(toStringz("test.bmp")) of type immutable(char)* to 
char*	D:\Documents\Projects\Test\Test\DPBall.d	10	

Instead I tried toUTFz, which I used like this:

--------------------------

	char * filename;
	
	this()
	{
		this.filename = toUTFz("test.bmp");
	}

--------------------------

I get these errors:

Error	1	Error: template std.utf.toUTFz(P,S) if (isSomeString!(S) 
&& isPointer!(P) && isSomeChar!(typeof(*P.init)) && 
is(Unqual!(typeof(*P.init)) == Unqual!(ElementEncodingType!(S))) 
&& is(immutable(Unqual!(ElementEncodingType!(S))) == 
ElementEncodingType!(S))) does not match any function template 
declaration	D:\Documents\Projects\Test\Test\DPBall.d	11	

Error	2	Error: template std.utf.toUTFz(P,S) if (isSomeString!(S) 
&& isPointer!(P) && isSomeChar!(typeof(*P.init)) && 
is(Unqual!(typeof(*P.init)) == Unqual!(ElementEncodingType!(S))) 
&& is(immutable(Unqual!(ElementEncodingType!(S))) == 
ElementEncodingType!(S))) cannot deduce template function from 
argument types

Am I using these functions incorrectly?
