Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 19:02:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030926180248.GA14053@redhat.com> (raw)
I want to write a function which is a bit like Printf.printf, but
handles the %s placeholder differently. It needs to do SQL-style
escaping, eg:
my_printf "The string: %s" "string with 'quotes'"
would return the string:
The string: 'string with ''quotes'''
(hope I've got that right ...)
Anyway, it looks like this should be possible, and possibly even quite
simple, with a custom formatter.
Can anyone give me a clue about this? Is Printf.printf implemented in
pure OCaml, or does it require trickery in the compiler to work? The
code is scarily complex ...
Rich.
