I am looking for a print formatter with a little more power than
printf. Believe it or not, I would like something similar to the PRINT
USING statement in BASIC (never thought that I would want C to have a
feature of BASIC!!). More specifically, I want to be able to print out
a number with different formatting commands (i.e. with spaces or commas
between its digits), and I would also like to be able to print out
binary numbers. For example:
PRINT USING "## ## ##", a
would print (if a = 823923)
82 39 23
And of course I would also like to be able to control the output radix.
Does anyone know of anything like this that exists? Thanks in advance.
