Dependencies

If you wanna use this library in your project, then you must also include the following other libraries into your project:

QB-StdLibs\qbstdarg (.bi/.bm)

Formatted output functions

These are QB64 synonyms for the most commonly used stdio functions for formatted output. They use the "va_list" strings provided via qbstdarg.bi/.bm to pass in the required arguments. The functions are using the formatting tokens known to the C/C++ function printf() and its derivations.

It is also possible to use the typical escape sequences known to C/C++ in the given format string as well as in any argument strings passed in through the va_list (except the Unicode escape sequences).

Table of Contents

• VPrintF
  • print formatted output to the screen
• VFPrintF
  • write formatted output into the given file
• VSPrintF$
  • return formatted output as new string

QB64 string support

A function to make escape sequences possible in regular strings. If you feel happy using those sequences in the argument and format strings, then you probably wish to use it in regular strings too.

Table of Contents

• QB$
  • evaluate any escape sequences in the given string
