how to include a comma in the output of sprintf?
Feb 04 2010 | 1:13 am
I am using sprintf to assemble some command strings, and I need to include a comma character
For example, my sprintf looks like this:
sprintf symout send z%i min
and I want the output to look like
send z1, min
It looks like I can't include the standard ASCII escaping, eg 54 for comma.
How can I do this?
- Feb 04 2010 | 1:19 am[ sprintf symout send z%i, min ]or[ sprintf symout send z%ld, min ]
- Feb 04 2010 | 1:20 amYou can use a backslash to escape a reserved character in objects like [sprintf] and [expr]. Try without the "symout" argument otherwise it will all be one message and won't work if you try to send it to [forward].[sprintf send z%i, min]lh
- Feb 04 2010 | 3:08 amIf I don't include symout then forward kicks back "forward: first extra argument must be a symbol".If I do include symout, then the forward doesn't seem to take effect.What seems to work is (t b i) to fire off the (sprintf send z%i) and then (min).Is there a simpler way to do this? I just want to selectively send messages to a number of consecutively named (receive) objects.
