or

pawn Код:

format(string1,sizeof(string1),string2);

pawn Код:

strcat((string1[0]='\0',string1),string2);

does work if size string1 == size string2 :P

and i dont use format for this but strcat or string1 = string2 ;p and I think its small difference between
format and strcat if i use it one time

Oh crap, how slow is format?
I turned copying strings with format into a habit.

It isn't the point of slow, assignment is the most logical thing you would do in this case.

What if the sizes aren't matching?

No, it would generate a compiler error...
