String variable expansion routine wanted

[Spiros Papadopoulos]

Hi,

Well If I understood well you need printf()
Definitely check the manual page:
#man 3 printf

You can use printf() like this:

vartype Variable = declaration;   /* string or int or double etc */

/* will print your text and the variable in the middle */
printf("some text... %type_of_variable ... more text", variable); 

You can use multiple variables like that if you want of any type:
int = 1;
string = "Hello";
....
....
.....
printf("(text)number: %i(int), text: %s, text: %..., text: %... , text:
...", int, string, ..., ..., ...);
