@galanCA I think this is fairly safe, but I am curious why this function is necessary at all. Why can't we just use sprintf?

[galanCA]

@nealkruis It looks like both perform the same function except that snprintf takes the size of the text. cplusplus.com mentions that snprintf is safer. Other than that we can use sprintf if we desire. I initially opted to use snprintf because it had the same functionality as the function it was replacing.

@nealkruis I don't know about clang or gcc but msvc has been yelling at me for years to not use sprintf or sscanf because of potential for buffer overruns.

@galanCA my question is more about whether the distinction between the two functions is meaningful in this context. Will the behavior be the same either way? I'm not sure myself.
