Calling Sequence
str=sprintf(format,value_1,..,value_n)
Arguments
- format
- a Scilab string. Specifies a character string combining literal characters with conversion specifications. 
- value_i
- Specifies the data to be converted according to the format parameter. 
- str
- column vector of character strings 
Description
The sprintf function converts, formats, and stores its
    value parameters, under control of the format parameter.
The format parameter is a character string that contains two
    types of objects:
- Literal characters
- which are copied to the output stream. 
- Conversion specifications
- each of which causes zero or more items to be fetched from the - valueparameter list. see printf_conversion for details
If there are not enough items for format in the
    value parameter list, sprintf generate an error.
    If any values remain after the entire format has been
    processed, they are ignored.
Note: sprintf is obsolete, use msprintf instead.
Examples
fahr=120 sprintf('%3d Fahrenheit = %6.1f Celsius',fahr,(5/9)*(fahr-32))
