No way to escape special characters % and & in %format
|
There doesn't appear to be any way to escape the special characters % and & within the format string.
I tried
| Code: |
#echo %format("Name && Number [&s:&s]","James","007")
#echo %format("Name %& Number [&s:&s]","James","007")
#echo %format("Name ~& Number [&s:&s]","James","007") |
This holds true for the % char as well. |

Albeit a bit clunky, this does work:
#show %format("&s &s &s [&s:&s]","Name","&","Number","James","007")
*shrug* But yeah, it'd be nice to be able to escape the & and % within the first parameter.

EDIT: Even better:
#SHOW %format("Name &s Number [&s:&s]","&","James","007)
*smirk* |
