ATTENTION: this project has migrated to github: http://github.com/arthur-debert/printf-as3/

Function for doing string variable substitutions in AS3.

Inspired by python's print and strtime.

This is really a simple project. Inside the rep, souce, docs and examples.

Some basic usage: ``` // 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": "arthur@stimuli.com.br", "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 arthur@stimuli.com.br" // you can also use date parts: var date : Date = new Date(); printf("Today is %d/%m/%Y", date, date, date)

```
