native
formatex
Syntax
native formatex(output[], len, const format[], any:...);Description
Formats a string according to the AMX Mod X format rules (see documentation).
Parameters
| output | Destination string buffer. |
|---|---|
| len | Maximum length of output string buffer. |
| format | Formatting rules. |
| ... | Variable number of format parameters. |
Note
Same as format(), except does not perform a "copy back" check.
This means formatex() is faster, but DOES NOT ALLOW this type
of call:
formatex(buffer, len, "%s", buffer)
formatex(buffer, len, buffer, buffer)
formatex(buffer, len, "%s", buffer[5])
This is because the output is directly stored into "buffer",
rather than copied back at the end.
Return
Number of cells written.
