This is the printf() format (for instance): "%'.2f". This works fine in C and with bash:printf, but somehow not in php. I was just wondering why that might be?
No idea why, but I mostly use number_format(..), see http://php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php
Yeah, that's my googling kept tellme too. That won't work though - the patterns are given to me as fields from a 3rd party. They have to work with printf(), that is the only limitation. When I call printf() in php, I expect(ed) it to work with all the patterns from from C. If I were to use number_format(), it won't work with "%.2f".
I can't see the input, but wouldn't number_format(printf("%.2f)") do the job?
That should have been number_format(printf("%.2f"))
Yes, I think it would, but what happens when the field-spec is a string or a hex format (for instance). Or when the format is "%'.2f".
You have to imagine a call like this:
dosomething( data, format );
'data' is whatever, 'format' is a printf() formatting specification.
That's what I have to deal with. I could write some concoction that would parse the input spec and use number_format() or printf(), but I would much prefer not having to parse that formatting spec.
Well, I did some more reading and only found that printf alone cannot doe what you want to achieve. I've been struggling with this in the past where I had to deal with something like this (get data from one system into another). Never found another way then nestiing commands like described. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
