formatex

Syntax

native formatex(output[], len, const format[], any:...);

Usage

Destination string buffer.

Maximum length of output string buffer.

Formatting rules.

Variable number of format parameters.

Description

Formats a string according to the AMX Mod X format rules (see documentation).

Note

Same as format(), except does not perform a "copy back" check.
This means formatex() is faster, but DOES NOT ALLOW this type
of call:
  formatex(buffer, len, "%s", buffer)
  formatex(buffer, len, buffer, buffer)
  formatex(buffer, len, "%s", buffer[5])
This is because the output is directly stored into "buffer",
rather than copied back at the end.

Return

Number of cells written.
