sprintf Strings:Manipulation sprintf sprintf printf-style formatted output to a string variable. Description sprintf write printf-style formatted output to a string variable, similarly to the C function sprintf(). sprintf runs at i-time only. Syntax Sdst sprintf Sfmt, xarg1[, xarg2[, ... ]] Initialization Sfmt -- format string, has the same format as in printf() and other similar C functions, except length modifiers (l, ll, h, etc.) are not supported. The following conversion specifiers are allowed: d, i, o, u, x, X, e, E, f, F, g, G, c, s xarg1, xarg2, ... -- input arguments (max. 30) for format, should be i-rate for all conversion specifiers except %s, which requires a string argument. Integer formats like %d round the input values to the nearest integer. Performance Sdst -- output string variable Example Sname sprintf "soundin-%04d.wav", ifileno Smsg sprintf "The file name is: '%s'", Sname puts Smsg, 1 asig soundin Sname See Also sprintfk Credits Author: Istvan Varga 2005
