strcat() - admantis - 17.03.2011

I would like to know how I can format strings with %s, %i, %d, %x and similar in strcat functions

pawn Code:

strcat(string, %s, sizeof(string)); // how do I insert a string here?

I don't know if it will work, but you gotta format the string first (pretty sure).

pawn Code:

new s[16];
format(s, sizeof(s), "Message\n");
strcat(string, s, sizeof(string)); // how do I insert a string here?

strcat's second parameter is a STRING which you cannot format with multiple arguments in the function, you should use format() for that.

pawn Code:

new
        szReplicateString[24],
        szNewString[24];
        
    format(szNewString, sizeof(szNewString), "aoaoao%d", GetPlayerWantedLevel(0));
    strcat(szReplicateString, szNewString, sizeof(szNewString));

tl;dr: You can't format strings using strcat.
