- First, I'm confused. The docs say 's' is "whatever it needs to
be". ("he corresponding argument is formatted in a manner
consistent with its type:") But what if I specifically want a
STRING. Because I only see floats, ints, etc. No forced string
types.
- Second,
This works fine in D:
printf("%-*s|", col.width-1, col.name.toStringz());
It's a left-aligned, string with a minimum width from the first
argument, col.width. (-1 because I'm throwing a pipe symbol on
the end.)
Now with writefln:
writefln("%-*s|", col.width-1, col.name);
Same format specifier, except I don't need a toStringz which is
nice. Except it doesn't work and tries to decode col.width-1 into
a hexadecimal number and only prints that. ("4D6EF6")
I looked through the docs:
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_format.html
'%' Position Flags Width Separator Precision FormatChar
Width:
empty
Integer
'*'
But there are then zero examples or explanations of how to use
that option. What's going on here?
