format string {\,} joined with single spaces (just like default of {[gf/l2s])}
elements for the format string. will result in errors when element list has float instead of symbol {\,} symbol instead of float {\,} or is too short. (isn't supposed to crash {\,} unlike {[makefilename]).} {}
%ld %lld %hd %hhd and other variants of the same kind (with l ll h hh L q j z t) are not supported and rejected. They don't make sense in the context of Pd anyway.
%m %n %p formats and {1$} {2$} {3$} placeholders are currently not supported {\,} but if you find a reason to support them {\,} contact gridflow-dev.
Also {\,} produces a single symbol output {\,} no reparsing à la cyclone/sprintf.
a single symbol {\,} no reparsing. if you want a grid output instead {\,} look at {[#sprintf].}
very good replacement for {[makefilename]} {\,} {[zexy/makesymbol]} {\,} and {[cyclone/sprintf].}
Supports most of the sprintf features that are rejected by other externals.
{[gf/sprintf]} (and relatives {[#sprintf]} and {[gf/error])} is the only sprintf implementation for pd that supports %*d {\,} %.*d {\,} %*.*d and such {\,} that is {\,} the placeholders for field width.
{[gf/sprintf]} could eventually support custom format specifiers filling needs that are specific to pd. if you have ideas {\,} contact gridflow-dev.
relative to the sprintf man page {\,} every {"double"} (big float) argument comes straight from a float argument in your list {\,} every int argument is converted from a float argument in your list {\,} every char* argument is converted from a symbol (or float) argument in your list {\,} whereas int* arguments {\,} void* arguments and other arguments are not supported. if the wrong kind of element is encountered {\,} or if there are not enough elements {\,} an error will be produced instead. currently {\,} it's not an error to have too many list elements {\,} but it could become one.
{[gf/sprintf]} has no field width limit other than the one of sprintf() {\,} whereas cyclone prevents anything bigger than %256s. {}
{[gf/sprintf]} also does not have any size limit in the output. {[makefilename]} crashes after 1000 bytes (that usually means around 1000 characters). beware that many objects have a 1000 character limit bug {\,} including many pd internal classes {\,} many external classes {\,} but not GridFlow classes.
