Hi, It's not easy getting my old grey matter to learn new tricks, but I'm slowly learning Julia. I doubt this is worth adding to METADATA, but I find it useful for my work and hope others do too. If there are any ways to improve it, please let me know.
Best regards, Eric >From the README: https://github.com/EricForgy/StringInterpolation.jl *StringInterpolation.jl* String interpolation is an awesome feature of Julia, but string interpolation for non-standard string literals <http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/metaprogramming/#non-standard-string-literals> is not automatic and requires significant boilerplate code to make it work. This package simply resurrects an old Base method <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/deab8eabd7089e2699a8f3a9598177b62cbb1733/base/string.jl#L613> `interp_parse` and adds a macro `@interpolate`. For example: julia> Pkg.clone("https://github.com/EricForgy/StringInterpolation.jl.git";) julia> using StringInterpolation julia> x = "World" julia> @interpolate "Hello \$x" "Hello World" Note the $ is escaped in the string we want to interpolate. The intended use for this package is when building non-standard string literals. For example: macro test_str(s) return quote str = @interpolate $s # Do what you want to do with interpolated string here. sprint(print,str) end end *Example* The following non-standard string literal simply makes 3 copies of the interpolated string: macro triple_str(s) return quote str = @interpolate $s sprint(print,str^3) end end Then, you can use the macro as follows: julia> x = "World"; println(triple"Hello \$x\n") Hello World Hello World Hello World
