Examples

The following example shows a small range of the powerfull C-style formatting features:

using System;

using System.Text;

 

class MySample
{
  static void Main()
    {
    // Print a simple integer
    int i= 12;
    Debug.Trace( CFormat.Format( "i=%d", i ) );
 

    // Print an hexadecimal integer
    Debug.Trace( CFormat.Format( "hex number=0x%08X (=%d)",
                                 34567891, 34567891 ) );

    // Print floating point numbers with proper rounding
    double f1= 56.16548664545;
    Debug.Trace( CFormat.Format( "f2=%f", f1 ) );
    Debug.Trace( CFormat.Format( "f1=%1.2f", f1 ) );
    Debug.Trace( CFormat.Format( "f1 in E format=%E", f1 ) );
 

    // prints 10 random numbers with proper alignment
    int n= 10;
    for( int k= 1; k <= n; ++k )
      {
      int rnd= Math.Random( 1, 200 );
      if( Math.Random(0,1) == 0 )
        rnd= -rnd;

      string str= CFormat.Format( "Random %02d/%d : %4.d", k, n, rnd );
              
      Debug.Trace(str);
      }     
    }
}

 

This example outputs the following text in the Debug console:

i=12
hex number=0x020F76D3 (=34567891)
f2=56.165487
f1=56.17
f1 in E format=5.616549E+01
Random 01/10 : -190
Random 02/10 :   91
Random 03/10 : -143
Random 04/10 :  -29
Random 05/10 :  -76
Random 06/10 :   91
Random 07/10 : -102
Random 08/10 :  186
Random 09/10 :   24
Random 10/10 :  113

Please note that using CFormat will add between 3 and 4 KB to the final SWF file. CFormat is not a lightweight algorithm.
