# printf-as3

Function for doing string variable substitutions in AS3.

Inspired by python's print and strtime.

### Usage

    import br.com.stimuli.string.printf;

    // objects are substitued in the other they appear

    printf("This is an %s library for creating %s", "Actioscript 3.0", "strings");

    // outputs: "This is an Actioscript 3.0 lybrary for creating strings";

    // you can also format numbers:

    printf("You can also display numbers like PI: %f, and format them to a fixed precision, such as PI with 3 decimal places %.3f", Math.PI, Math.PI);

    // outputs: " You can also display numbers like PI: 3.141592653589793, and format them to a fixed precision, such as PI with 3 decimal places 3.142"

    // Instead of positional (the order of arguments to print f, you can also use propertie of an object):

    var userInfo : Object = {

    "name": "Arthur Debert",

    "email": "[email protected]",

    "website":"http://www.stimuli.com.br/",

    "ocupation": "developer"

    }

    printf("My name is %(name)s and I am a %(ocupation)s. You can read more on my personal %(website)s, or reach me through my %(email)s", userInfo);

    // outputs: "My name is Arthur Debert and I am a developer. You can read more on my personal http://www.stimuli.com.br/, or reach me through my [email protected]"

    // you can also use date parts:

    var date : Date = new Date();

    printf("Today is %d/%m/%Y", date, date, date);
