Hello,
Here is my problem in a nutshell:
julia> @sprintf("%10f "^6, 1,2,3,4,5,6)
ERROR: @sprintf: first argument must be a format string
I cannot use the ^ operator inside a @sprintf, probably because @sprintf is
a macro and something weird happens with the order of operation. This is
irritating because it is making me write ugly-long lines in my code for
something that should be shortened with "^".
Is it possible to make @sprintf work correctly? If not, would you consider
re-implementing it as a function? I don't understand why Julia makes
@sprintf into a macro. The idea seems like a needless deviation from
standard behaviour, and in this case it forces me to write uglier code.
Cheers,
Daniel.
