(Sorry for the crosspost; I'm not sure which list this should go to.) I've just completed a pure-Haskell printf. Docs at [1], download at [2]. Here are some examples: vsprintf "Hello"
"Hello" vsprintf "Hello, %s\n" "John" "Hello, John\n" vsprintf "%s, your age is %d\n" "John" (10::Integer) "John, your age is 10\n"
sprintfAL "%(name)s, your age is %(age)d\n" [("name", v "John"), ("age", v (10::Integer))]
"John, your age is 10\n"
I have more examples available at the doc page[1]. I used Ian Lynagh's Printf.Printer module to do the actual formatting (I converted it away from TH first). I got the idea for simulating handling variable numbers of function arguments from the haskell-xml-rpc code. I would appreciate comments/critiques. -- John [1] http://gopher.quux.org:70/devel/missingh/html/MissingH.Printf.html [2] http://gopher.quux.org:70/devel/missingh
