Which statement leads me to section 77.2 of "Programming in D",
and now I am deep into the mechanisms behind what you have very
kindly shared. Thank you once more.
As some fruits of my labors here, below is a link to a "fmt"
module which does C-style formatting. It supports int/long
signed/unsigned, right/left padding and zero padding, plus
strings (w. padding). It's memory and type safe; I ended up
using unions to tabulate the arguments as I need to access them
as an array (rather than walking them--I'm walking the format
string instead). It adds 6k to an executable, which means dlang
will work out fine for all of my smaller scripting needs in the
future.
Calls look like:
auto s = fmt("%d %u - %20s", 123, 456, "Hi, Mom");

Comments are welcome! I'd post here, but it seems a little long
for that?
