Currently the programming language Chora doesn't provide such format function. The function EwFormat() exists for internal purpose within the Runtime Environment only.
To format strings:
- use the concatenation operator plus (+)
- convert numbers in strings with the built-in string() instant constructor
With the concatenation operator you can combine several string fragments together. With the string() instant constructor you can format integer and floating point numbers. These constructors accept additional parameters to specify more in detail the desired format operation. You can e.g. specify the number of digits in the resulting string or the positions after the point. For example, the following code formats a time string from hour, minute and second values:
var int32 hour = ...
var int32 min = ...
var int32 sec = ...
var string text = string( hour ) + ":" + string( min, 2 ) + ":" + string( sec, 2 );
