Multiple %s format specifiers with a single argument
import std.string;
void main()
{
string foo = "foo";
string bar = format("%s %s %s", foo);
}
format expects 3 arguments, but what I really want is foo to be used
for all 3 specifiers and not repeat 'foo' 3 times manually. Are there
any format specifiers that do what I want? I've tried using positional
specifiers but that didn't work:
string bar = format("%1$s %1$s %1$s", foo);
$ std.format.FormatException@std\format.d(4363): string
That's a great error message btw.

Positional specifier works just fine for me.

Posix positional arguments seem to work for writefln but not format for
whatever reason. Report it as a bug.

Which version are you using? I'm on 2.058.
Positional parameters[*] are supported in 2.058. This example prints the
same argument in decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary:
writefln("%1$d %1$x %1$o %1$b", 42);

Thanks, http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7877 Andrej, are emails from Bugzilla not getting through to you? And Jonathan, you ought to know that you already submitted one of the duplicate bug reports about this. You shouldn't submit bug reports without searching first anyway. Always include resolved bugs in the search - the bug you're about to report might have been fixed ready for the next release, and duplicates already in the system help to catch different ways of phrasing the same statement, among other things.

Bugzilla stopped emailing me for quite a while now, I don't know why (except the monthly password reminder). The emails page has all the ticks set except this row: "The issue is in the UNCONFIRMED state ". I've clicked the Enable All Email button just now and it unselected all ticks from the row "The change was made by me ", but I don't think that was causing bugzilla to stop mailing me. >On 4/10/12, Stewart Gordon wrote: > You shouldn't submit bug reports without searching first anyway. I did, but the default search box doesn't seem to search duplicate reports (I didn't know this until now). E.g. if I search for "format positional" I get this lone result: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=format+positional But with an advanced search the reports do show up: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc=format%20positional&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&component=Phobos&product=D There's an option in advanced search "and remember these as my default search options", but even though I have this ticked and it says it saved it, it doesn't actually work.

LOL. There's no way that I'd remember all of the bug reports that I've filed. I haven't filed anywhere near as many as Bearophile has, but I've filed quite a a few, and unless a problem is one that I run into regularly or comes up regularly in the newsgroup, I'm not likely to remember that it exists, let alone that I reported it. - Jonathan M Davis

Bugzilla stopped emailing me for quite a while now, I don't know why (except the monthly password reminder). Assuming that you did hit the "Submit Changes" button and that the email address you have registered with Bugzilla is correct, I don't know. Have you checked with your email provider to see if they're being flagged as spam? On 4/10/12, Stewart Gordon wrote: You shouldn't submit bug reports without searching first anyway.

There's an option in advanced search "and remember these as my default search options", but even though I have this ticked and it says it saved it, it doesn't actually work. It seems that "and remember these as my default search options" affects only the advanced search. Or are you finding that it isn't working even there? Stewart.

Looks like you're right, it's in spam. I don't get Google, apparently "your email won 1.000.000$" is not spam, but mails from "d-bugm...@puremagic.com" are marked as spam. I'll have to add that mail to the whitelist. > It seems that "and remember these as my default search options" affects > only the advanced search. I see. I assumed "default search" meant the search box at the top. Oh well, lesson learned. :)

Gmail and Mutt (the two I use most) seem to handle replying well, setting the correct headers to indicate things. But I've seen some odd postings from people posting using things like Windows Live Mail. And it seems that Outlook Express is better at mailing lists than Outlook, which is strange... -- James Miller

I switched from Opera to CM a while ago. It also offers a search by a list of criteria that downloads missing message bodies lazily on a full-text search. It starts up almost instantly, but takes a few seconds to load the 160.000 messages of this group, fixing up split discussions on the way. ;) Also I found that Opera Mail had a good set of default settings, while in Claws it took me a while to understand its configuration options. Haven't tried other clients (except for Evolution, which was no improvement over Opera). -- Marco
