format

Syntax

native format(output[], len, const format[], any:...);

Usage

Destination string buffer.

Maximum length of output string buffer.

Formatting rules.

Variable number of format parameters.

Description

Formats a string according to the AMX Mod X format rules (see documentation).

Note

Example: format(dest, "Hello %s. You are %d years old", "Tom", 17).
If any of your input buffers overlap with the destination buffer,
format() falls back to a "copy-back" version as of 1.65. This is
slower, so you should using a source string that is the same as
the destination.

Return

Number of cells written.
