[QUESTION]About "format". - [DOG]irinel1996 - 18.11.2011

Hi.
I have a little question, is possible make biggest formats? Because if I use too much characters it'll crash my compiler.
And strcat wasn't made for formatting strings.

Well, any suggestion?

Best regards!

format() at any rate shouldn't crash your compiler, it should give you a warning.

If you format a string that is too long, you can always begin formatting again on another line and include the old formatted string, like so:

pawn Код:

new szTestString[128]; 
format(szTestString, sizeof(szTestString), "asfmdasflmkasflkmasflmkalkmsfalkmsfalkmsflmkas");
format(szTestString, sizeof(szTestString), "%s asfmdasflmkasflkmasflmkalkmsfalkmsfalkmsflmkas", szTestString);

Hahaha... Good idea bro.
It works, thanks a lot.

EDIT:
Now I have another problem.
For example if I want make something like this:

pawn Код:

format(strings, sizeof(strings),"first format lalalalala");
format(strings, sizeof(strings),"%s "AV"%s",strings,Other);

Other won't appear. =/

You need to escape quotemarks by putting a backslash behind them. Also make sure the 'strings' array is large enough.

It works perfect with less characters, but if I add 4 or more characteres , It won't compile and the compiler crash.
And "strings" is large enough, It will crash too if I put 500. I need something like strcat, but with it I can't format strings.
