%format & %ansi
|
%format doesn't accurately return padded strings with "&#s", or colors with "&4d"
From blank session command line:
| Code: |
#show {x%format("&4s", 5)xx%format("&4s", %ansi(red)5)x}
#show {x%format("&4d", 5)xx%format("&4d", %ansi(red)5)x} |
The first line shows up colored properly, but is missing the spaces, where the second line shows up properly spaced, but no color. |

I take that back any other format besides "&#s" strips the color, and instead of returning a 5 returns 0

Put the %ansi outisde the %format. |

Yeah, I know I can, but where i'm using this it gets very long and not nearly as pretty. But beyond that, it's is acting inconsistent between it's different formatting options.

I wouldn't expect %ansi to work well inside a %format statement, since the ansi code itself takes up space. Chosig is correct, the %ansi belongs outside the %format.
[Edit] And as for it acting differently between different formatting options, ansi codes are not a number, and won't work well inside a numerical format. |
