does julia have a non-macro sprintf? how would one write f(x::AbstractFloat, fmt="%7.4f")= @sprintf(fmt, x) short of writing everything in macro rather than in julia? regards, /iaw

You can do this using the Formatting.jl package. using Formatting f(x::AbstractFloat, fmt="%7.4f") = sprintf1(fmt, x) f(3.55, "%12.3f")

Compiled sprintf?

I just tried. StringLiterals looks cool, but it does not seem to be in the julia repository.
