I hope someone knows an easy solution for this...

I want to combine a lot of information in one coll index.

But, when I use sprintf, there are no quotes around the symbols.

I need these quotes because one symbol can be one or more words.

sprintf-s-s-s

It works great, but the problem is that the information (like 8 numbers, words and lines) has to be in a specific order. It is collected in a different order from an user interface.

So unfortunately I can't make it work with 'zl join'.

The nice thing of sprintf is that I can collect all the info and the bang it through when inputting the index for the coll.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Try putting the "quote" marks in the [sprintf] object, you'll need to escape them with the backslash character:

this only works for single symbol output, though.

there is another way as well:
[sprintf symout %s %s %s]

This way works best for me "%s", since the order in which I put the information in is not 'from right to left'.

Although I realised it might be possible with 'pack' as well.

Sprintf %s %s %s
