FormatString

With the :aimmsFormatString function you can compose a string that is built up from combinations of numbers, strings and set elements. The :aimmsFormatString function accepts a varying number of arguments, defined by the conversion specifiers in the format string.

FormatString(
     formatstring,    ! (input) a literal double quoted string
     arguments,       ! (input) a list of numbers, strings, and set elements
     ...
     )

One or more arguments of type number, string or element. The order of these arguments must coincide with the order of the conversion specifiers in formatstring.
