Owning Class: string

Requires: MathScript RT Module

Syntax

str = sprintf(format, a)

str = sprintf(format, b, ...)

Description

Formats the input data as a string. sprintf(format, a) applies a format until LabVIEW formats all the data in a or an error occurs. If a is a 2D matrix, LabVIEW formats a in column-wise order. sprintf(format, b, ...) formats the input data based on the corresponding format specifier. If you specify b, the number of specifiers in format must match the number of data elements in b.

Examples

Inputs
