Implementing sprintf and printf functions in JavaScript_javascript skills

Implement the sprintf / printf functions found in most languages ​​​​under JavaScript.

http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascript-sprintf.html: A relatively complete simulation of the sprintf function. Available formatting wildcards:
1.%% - Returns the percent sign itself
2.%b - Binary number
3.%c - ASCII corresponding character
4.%d - integer
5.%f - floating point number
6.%o - Octal number
7.%s - string
8.%x - hexadecimal number (lowercase letter form)
9.%X - hexadecimal number (uppercase letter form)

Available options between % signs and wildcard characters include (e.g. %.2f):

1. (Force to display the and - sign in front of the number as a sign of positive and negative numbers. By default, only negative numbers display the - sign)
2.- (variables left aligned)
3.0 (use 0 as right-aligned padding character)
4.[0-9] (Set the minimum width of the variable)
5..[0-9] (Set floating point precision or string length)

Copy code The code is as follows:

If you just want to simply replace the content of the position variable without additional formatting, you can use the printf provided in the relatively simple YUI tools:

Copy code The code is as follows:

YAHOO.Tools.printf = function() {
var num = arguments.length;
var oStr = arguments[0];
for (var i = 1; i var pattern = "\{" (i-1) "\}";
var re = new RegExp(pattern, "g");
oStr = oStr.replace(re, arguments[i]);
}
return oStr;
}

When used like YAHOO.Tools.printf("Display string {0}, {1}.", "1", "2"); use {?} to match.
