This library is intended to replace (not patch!) the exec/RawDoFmt()
function by easier (for the user and developer). Instead of parsing only
the type of field, you enter the string name (tag) and format optionally
(defaults to %s). It uses RawDoFmt() for printf-like formatting of single
string (tag). The format string can be anything and the application using
newfmt.library will be able to select the characters responsible for
beginning, slashing and ending of the tag. By default they are "{", "/" and
"}". The tag consists of the following:
{tag/format} ie. {f/s} {size/ld}
| | | | |
| | | | +--ending character
| | | +-----formatting string (for RawDoFmt())
| | +---------shash character
| +-----------tag name (up to 4 characters)
+-------------beginning character
or
{tag}
| | |
| | +--ending character
| +----tag name (up to 4 characters)
+------beginning character
beginning character - usually "{", set by application
tag name - is the "tag" for searching for the value
slash character - used when you want to enter the format
format - RawDoFmt() format, for more info see autodocs
ending character - usually "}", set by application.
