printf(1) Scilab Function printf(1)
NAME
sprintf - Emulator of C language sprintf function
CALLING SEQUENCE
str=sprintf(format,value_1,..,value_n)
PARAMETERS
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
file : a Scilab string specifying a file name or a logical unit number
(see file)
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
value parameter 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 that sprintf is a scilab emulation of C language function build in
Scilab. Consequently it is quite slow. Use string whenever it is possible.
EXAMPLES
fahr=120
sprintf('%3d Fahrenheit = %6.1f Celsius',fahr,(5/9)*(fahr-32))
