David Crocker <dcrocker at eschertech dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |dcrocker at eschertech dot com --- Comment #23 from David Crocker <dcrocker at eschertech dot com> --- I need this feature too. Instead of waiting several more years for an all-singing all-dancing solution, PLEASE can we have a simple solution that allows me to use a custom format specifier and skips a single argument for that specifier. I believe this would cover the vast majority of uses custom format specifiers. My particular use case is that my application generates a lot of JSON strings, so in my printf replacement I want to implement a specifier similar to %s that performs JSON escaping on characters in the string.
