Description

Formats a string. Like sprintf(), but change to the current WinCC OA language before converting. For more examples and description of the format signs see chaptersprintf().

Example

Writes the value of the int variable i to string variable s.

main()
{
  string s;
  int i=123;
  DebugN(sprintfPL(s, "%d", i)); // Number of the characters output = 3
  DebugN(s); // s now contains 123
  i=999;
  DebugN(sscanfPL(s, "%d", i)); // Read from s as int
  DebugN(i); // Again 123
}

The example formats a float variable to a string via the sprintfPL function and reads the value via the sscanfPL function.

main()
{
  string s;
  float i= 6.99;
  sprintfPL(s, "%5.3f\n", i); //Writes the value of float parameter
  i to the string parameter s (formats a float to a string).
  DebugN(s); //s = 6.99
  i=3.55; //sets the value of i to 3.55
  DebugN(i); //i = 3.55
  sprintfPL(s, "%5.3f\n", i);//writes the new value of parameter i
  to parameter s (formats a float to a string)
  DebugN(s); //s = 3.55
  DebugN(sscanfPL(s, "%f", i));// Reads the value of s
}
