Paul King updated GROOVY-11569: ------------------------------- Description: Currently we support: {code:groovy} var x = 1/3 assert sprintf('%5.3f', x) == '0.333' {code} Or you can use: {code:groovy} assert String.format('%5.3f', x) == '0.333' {code} I propose we also support: {code:groovy} assert x.format('%5.3f') == '0.333' assert [x, x, x]*.format('%5.3f') == ['0.333', '0.333', '0.333'] {code} It is intended to be a shortcut only for format strings containing a single format specifier (or at least referencing a single argument). was: Currently we support: {code:groovy} var x = 1/3 assert sprintf('%5.3f', x) == '0.333' {code} I propose we also support: {code:groovy} assert x.sprintf('%5.3f') == '0.333' assert [x, x, x]*.sprintf('%5.3f') == ['0.333', '0.333', '0.333'] {code} It is intended to be a shortcut only for format strings containing a single format specifier. > Create a format shortcut for 1-arg usage > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-11569 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11569 > Project: Groovy > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Paul King > Priority: Major > > Currently we support: > {code:groovy} > var x = 1/3 > assert sprintf('%5.3f', x) == '0.333' > {code} > Or you can use: > {code:groovy} > assert String.format('%5.3f', x) == '0.333' > {code} > I propose we also support: > {code:groovy} > assert x.format('%5.3f') == '0.333' > assert [x, x, x]*.format('%5.3f') == ['0.333', '0.333', '0.333'] > {code} > It is intended to be a shortcut only for format strings containing a single > format specifier (or at least referencing a single argument). -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
