- Gabriel Laskar (9/9) Mar 17 2010 Hi,
- Lars T. Kyllingstad (16/30) Mar 17 2010 There are two problems here:
- Lars T. Kyllingstad (6/7) Mar 17 2010 I forgot to mention: std.string.format() works if you use a correct
- Gabriel Laskar (17/26) Mar 17 2010 Oops, I'm stupid, It is not %0, but %s... std.string.format is good.
- Lars T. Kyllingstad (9/40) Mar 17 2010 It depends on what you are trying to do.
- Gabriel Laskar (4/7) Mar 17 2010 thats perfect, thanks
- Gabriel Laskar (34/37) Mar 17 2010 I have another problem :
- Ellery Newcomer (6/37) Mar 17 2010 format wants to put the entire a[1 .. $] in the first %s. There isn't
Hi, I am searching how to do a formatted string like with sprintf() I have found std.format.formattedWrite() but when I try : Appender!(string) msg; formattedWrite(msg, "toto: %0", 42); writeln(msg); It fails with : core.exception.RangeError �(1582): Range violation I have also found std.string.format, but it seems to fail also.

Your format specification is wrong. %0 is not a valid specifier. 2. msg isn't a string, it's an Appender. Extract its contents with Appender.data instead. Here's one example of how to do it: Appender!string msg; formattedWrite(msg, "toto: %s", 42); write(msg.data); If you meant to use positional parameters, then the first parameter is number 1, not 0, and you also need a format specifier. The syntax is then formattedWrite(msg, "toto: %1$s", 42); (This is the POSIX syntax, check out http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/printf.html for the full specification.) -Lars

Now I need to pass an array of char[] instead of va_args, I have found a work around, but it seems bad : string formatArray(char[][] args) { switch (args.length) { case 1: return format(args[0]); case 2: return format(args[0], args[1]); // ... } } If someone have something better...

To get what you want, you're probably going to have to mess around with std.format.doFormat and implement your own format function.
