Factoristas-
I've been studying the great economy John B. achieved in his
neat revision of my recently submitted
spotlight.factor<https://github.com/cwalston/spotlight.factor>code,
especially WRT structuring format strings passed to sprintf, e.g.:
: attr== ( item-name attr-name -- string )
swap "%s == '%s'" sprintf ;
The construct "%s", which does the heavy lifting, isn't explicitly
illustrated in the doc file format specs for printf, for lc string formats.
In hindsight I can deduce that "%s" is implicit in the "%P.Ds" format,
when you don't want padding or require max digits. It might be worthwhile,
for fledgelings, to stick a line in the docs illustrating that using bare
"%s"
will do in such cases. I totally missed that possibility. Doh!
Kudos to John; I'm thrilled with the result, overall.
Best,
~cw
