---

This method returns a formatted string.

Syntax

Clib.rsprintf([formatString] [,var1, var2, ..., varn])

Parameter	Description
formatString	A string indicating how variable or literal parameters are to be treated
var1, var2, ..., varn	Variables to be printed using the formatString

Returns

A string formatted according to formatString.

Usage

Clib.rsprintf() can return string or numeric literals that appear as parameters.

The format string contains character combinations indicating how following parameters are to be treated. For information on format strings used with Clib.rsprintf(), see Table 7 in the section Formatting Data. If there are variable parameters, the number of formatting sequences must match the number of variables.

Characters are returned as read until a percent character (%) is reached. The percent character indicates that a value is to be printed from the parameters following the format string.

Example

Each of the following lines shows an rsprintf example followed by the resulting string:

Clib.rsprintf("I count: %d %d %d.",1,2,3) //"I count: 1 2 3"
var a = 1;
var b = 2;
Clib.rsprintf("%d %d %d",a, b, a+b)       //"1 2 3"
