CTextView:Printf
The Printf method writes formatted text to the text window wrapped by this CTextView object. This method provides functionality like the printf function in the C language. The Printf and Wprintf functions are global relatives of this method.
|
bResult = CTextView:Printf( sFmt, ... ) |
sFmt is a format string.
... refers to an optional list of arguments (see
Remarks).
On success,
this method returns true.
On failure,
this method returns false.
The Printf method takes 1 or more arguments. The first argument is a string that may be either the value to print or a format to be used for interpreting any additional arguments. Additional arguments provide values for the % fields embedded in the format string. The syntax of this function is compatible with the printf in the C or C++ language.
The script fragment below creates a new CTextView and writes formatted text to it:
|
T = CTextView:new("My window") |
-- create a new CTextView V |
|
s = "My string" ; n = 12.553 |
-- string and number to print |
|
T:Printf("'%s': v=%-12lg\n", s, n/2.1 )) |
-- do a formatted print to T |
|
... |
-- other script commands... |
|
T:delete() |
-- delete T when no longer needed. |
