>From the little I looked at printf.ijs written by Henry Rich, it looks like
he tried to duplicate the functionality the C language implimentations.
Also, he added new capabilities.
One thing I see that seems not to work is:
In C the following is true.
'0' : Causes printf to use '0' (instead of spaces) to left fill a fixed
length field. For example (assume i = 3) printf("%2d", i) results in " 3",
while printf("%02d", i) results in "03"
So, I would expect that:
'%02d' printf 3 would produce "03" but it actually produces " 3"
Has anybody got this to work? Maybe I will go through printf.ijs and modify
it so it provides the same basic functionality that printf in C provides.
