The only way to do it would be to have lots of formats to my best knowledge.

E.g.:

Code:

format(string,sizeof(string),"ItemData("idx[%d]", item_idx);
format(string,sizeof(string),"%sName[%s]", string, Item[item_idx][Name]);
format(string,sizeof(string),"%sInfo[%s]", string, Item[item_idx][Info]);
//and so on...

It depends on where do you wanna show these information..
- If you wanna show it in a Dialog, use "\n" to make a new line.
- If you wanna show it as a textdraw, use "~n~".

Example:

pawn Code:

format(string,sizeof(string),"ItemData(idx[%d]\nName[%s]\nInfo[%s]\n ....", item_idx, Item[item_idx][Name], Item[item_idx][Info]);
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOGNAME, DIALOG_STYLE_MSGBOX,"Title",string,"OK");
