% in string

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Hello all

I have a deviceType containing a %
RSMD0603_1/16W-33,1%

I want to use it with other informations on a status area of a form.

So I use this function:
printf(statusTxt "%s:%s [%s]" refdes rDev rPath)
axlUIWPrint(nmForm statusTxt)

But I got this message E- *Error* fprintf/sprintf: illegal format spec. - "R8:RSMD0603_1/16W-33,1% [lhc_1tfbk(sch_1):page1_i3->clock_distr1(sch_1):page1_i109]"

If I removed the % in rDev, it works.
Then the % is the problem.
How can I do to avoid this?
I tried with a strcat, but not better.

Thanks in advance.

    axlUIWPrint acts just like a printf, so there is no need for the statusTxt variable

    use this instead:
    axlUIWPrint(nmForm "%s:%s [%s]" refdes rDev rPath)

    no error will occur, but it will not show the "%" character
