| Description: |
(Greg Beauchesne, [email protected]) This patch adds %n and %N specifiers to [format]. They work like the ones for sprintf(), except you give the name of a variable. %n is for character length, and %N is for byte length (should byte length ever be needed) Ex. format "%08x%n%08x%n" 5 varlen1 10 varlen2 $varlen1 is now 8 and $varlen2 is now 16 format "%s%N" "My string" bytelen ...has nearly the same effect as: set bytelen [string bytelength "My string"] A simple change, but it wasn't in there, or so the manpages told me. Made from tcl8.4.1. | |||

Logged In: YES user_id=80530 [format] got a rewrite for 8.5, so this patch is out of date. dkf added on 2002-12-17 22:03:12: Logged In: YES user_id=79902 This'll need a TIP before going any further. (Don't know what's wrong with just interpolating the results of [string length] and [string bytelength] though.) nobody added on 2002-12-17 07:10:48: File Added - 37756: tcl-nformat.patch | |||
