Description

sprintf write printf-style formatted output to a string variable, similarly to the C function sprintf(). sprintf runs at i-time only.

Syntax

Sdst sprintf Sfmt, xarg1[, xarg2[, ... ]]

Initialization

Sfmt -- format string, has the same format as in printf() and other similar C functions, except length modifiers (l, ll, h, etc.) are not supported. The following conversion specifiers are allowed:

xarg1, xarg2, ... -- input arguments (max. 30) for format, should be i-rate for all conversion specifiers except %s, which requires a string argument. Integer formats like %d round the input values to the nearest integer.

Performance

Sdst -- output string variable

Examples

Here is an example of the sprintf opcode. It uses the file sprintf.csd.

<CsoundSynthesizer>
<CsOptions>
; Select audio/midi flags here according to platform
-odac      ;;;realtime audio out
;-iadc    ;;;uncomment -iadc if realtime audio input is needed too
; For Non-realtime ouput leave only the line below:
; -o sprintf.wav -W ;;; for file output any platform
</CsOptions>
<CsInstruments>

sr = 44100
ksmps = 32
nchnls = 2
0dbfs  = 1

;the file "impuls20.aiff" can be found in /manual/examples
instr 1

ifn = 20
Sname sprintf "impuls%02d.aiff", ifn
Smsg  sprintf "The file name is: '%s'", Sname
      puts    Smsg, 1
asig  soundin Sname
      outs asig, asig

endin
</CsInstruments>
<CsScore>

i 1 0 1
e
</CsScore>
</CsoundSynthesizer>

Its output should include lines like this:

The file name is: 'impuls20.aiff'
soundin: opened 'impuls20.aiff'
