String concatenation

SpecMAN INFANT

Hi,

My requirement is to create a list of names err_00_count; err_01_count and so on till err_99_count. In order to achieve this I used the append operator  as append("err_",x,"_count"). where x was a loop variable. But the result comes out as  err_0x<actual no.>_count. Is there any way in which the 0x can be eliminated?

    Please don't keep saying it's not possible, you just need to understand what the C printf() format string means.
    A quick Google search or looking at a C text book will tell you all you need.

    In order to help you, I have written a small demo. Here is the Specman code:

    $ cat print_demo.e
    <'
    extend sys {
      run() is also {
        for x from 0 to 5 {
          out( appendf("err_%02d_count", x) );
        };
      };
    };
    '>

    And here is the output from the demo code:

    $ specman -c "load print_demo ; test"
