sprintf
Emulator of C language sprintf function
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Note: sprintf is obsolete, use msprintf instead.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))
