The resulting string is returned. + +The format string can contain placeholders (format specifiers) using the +following structure: + + %[parameter][flags][width]type + +The following format specifier types are supported: + +%%: Prints a literal '%' (special case, doesn't support parameter, flag, width) +%d, %i: Formats the specified value as a decimal signed number +%u: Formats the specified value as a decimal unsigned number +%x: Formats the specified value as a hexadecimal (lowercase) unsigned number +%X: Formats the specified value as a hexadecimal (uppercase) unsigned number +%o: Formats the specified value as an octal unsigned number +%s: Formats the specified value as a string +%c: Formats the specified value as a character (only uses the first character + of strings) + +The following format specifier types are not supported: + +%n (not implemented due to safety concerns) +%f, %F, %e, %E, %g, %G (the script engine doesn't use floating point values) +%p (the script engine doesn't use pointers) +%a, %A (not supported, use 0x%x and 0x%X respectively instead) + +An ordinal parameter can be specified in the form 'x$' (where x is a number), +to reorder the output (this may be useful in translated strings, where the +sentence order may be different from the original order).

(the default is to + right-align the output). ++ (plus): Prepends a plus for positive signed-numeric types. positive = '+', + negative = '-'. +(space): Prepends a space for positive signed-numeric types. positive = ' ', + negative = '-'. This flag is ignored if the '+' flag exists. +0 (zero): When a field width option is specified, prepends zeros for numeric + types. (the default prepends spaces). +A field width can be specified. + + mes(sprintf("The temperature is %+d degrees Celsius", .@temperature)); // Keeps the '+' sign in front of positive values + .@map_name$ = sprintf("quiz_%02d", .@i); // Keeps the leading 0 in "quiz_00", etc + +A field width may be specified, to ensure that 'at least' that many characters +are printed. If a star ('*') is specified as width, then the width is read as +argument to the sprintf() function. This also supports positional arguments. + + sprintf("%04d", 10) // Returns "0010" + sprintf("%0*d", 5, 10) // Returns "00010" + sprintf("%5d", 10) // Returns " 10" + sprintf("%-5d", 10) // Returns "10 " + sprintf("%10s", "Hello") // Returns " Hello"; + sprintf("%-10s", "Hello") // Returns "Hello "; + +Precision ('.X') and length ('hh', 'h', 'l', 'll', 'L', 'z', 'j', 't') +specifiers are not implemented (not necessary for the script engine purposes) Example: .@format$ = "The %s contains %d monkeys"; |
