I need to create a string that has more arguments than 31(which appears to be the largest in my version 4.6.2)

I tried with zl join etc but I have some commas in the string which caused problems with this aproach

The forum could do with a delete thread function if no-one has replied.

I found that using the output of sprintf in to text you need 7 x '' in the sprintf object in order to have the comma properly added to the output of text.

then the output from text would be 1.5, 2.5

You may also find a simple solution by daisy-chaining sprintf objects. Use a couple of sprintf's at the top level to concatenate string segments that do not contain commas, then use a final sprintf to insert the commas between the main components.

The flexibility is not unlimited, but may be enough for your purposes.

But don't you need to provide the same number of %s or %f anyway?
