You're missing a "." that if your computer is the same as mine, looks like something left behind by a mosquito

    Quick question to the group to solve an immediate problem and
    then if anyone has a dead simple reference on formatting strings
    it would be greatly appreciated as I'm finding this to be pretty
    confusing.

    Basically, I need to format a string as an example:

    "

    I want to insert wild in place of what and output the resulting
    text WITH the curly braces.  This is not the actual code but is
    the idea of what I need to do.

    Thanks all,

    Becky
