Clib Get Formatted String Method

The Clib Get Formatted String method returns a formatted string as a numeric literal or as an argument.

If you use this method to format a floating point number to a specific number of decimal points, then it returns the value rounded to the number of decimal points that you specify. For example, if you use the following code to format the num argument, then it returns the num argument rounded to 2 decimal points:

Clib.rsprintf("%.2f", num)

Format

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

Table 155 describes the arguments for the Clib Get Formatted String method.

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