Equivalent to sprintf/print function?

[Yendor1958]

Can anyone help? I am trying to find a way of easily inserting a value into a string, in a similar manner to the c sprintf function. (Old habits die hard!!)

 

[it2hill]

Use the & .....

sTemp = "HELLO WORLD"
'this will place !! in the string,
'after hello.. thus HELLO!! WORLD is now sTemp
sTemp = left(sTemp, 5) & "!!" & right(sTemp, 6)

Hope that helps,

Shane

Thanks for this, but what what I wanted was something to work like this

<snip>

strName=&quot;Fred&quot;
strHomeTown=&quot;Smallville&quot;

strOutput = Sprintf(&quot;My Name is %s, and I come from %s&quot;, strName, strHomeTown)

</snip>

which would result in strOutput having the value

My Name is Fred, and I come from Smallville


I have found

http://www.hi-ho.ne.jp/babaq/eng/basp21.html

which gives me what I want,

or a simpler VBScript version

Again thanks for the rsponse, and perhaps these links will help someone else

Try this:

strName="Fred"
strHomeTown="Smallville"
strOutput = "My Name is " & strName & ", and I come from " & strHomeTown
