[F-Script-talk] NSString stringWithFormat

[J.C.Burns <jc...@fa...>]

I'm trying to do what in pure Cocoa/Obj-C would be:

hexColorString = @"#%02x%02x%02x";
htmlString = [NSString hexColorString,[[form4 cellAtIndex:0] 
floatValue],[[form4 cellAtIndex:1]floatValue],[[form4 cellAtIndex:2] 
floatValue]];

But I understand from F-Script-talk digest, Vol 1 #85 on October 21,  
2004

Has that changed? Or, more to the point, is there an alternative way  
to use something like printf strings or use the stringWithFormat method?

F-Script still does not support calling a method with variable number =20=

of arguments.

A common way to create formated representations of numbers in F-=20
Script is to use the NSNumberFormatter class. It can do many kind of =20
formating but I don't think it create hexadecimal representations.

You may have to develop an ad-hoc method in Objective-C then call it =20
from F-Script.

Best,
