Can anyone explain the {1} that appears in strings, for example:

unread_x_nav "Unread {1}"

I looked at the code and gets fed into a sprintf so I would have thought %s or %d etc would make more sense? :ermm:

well, but it'S possible that phrases have more than one variable, so {1} stands for the first parameter, {2} for the second...

chrisrixon · #3 01-29-2006, 04:51 PM

Yes I agree with that, but I don't see how sprintf knows {1} means 1st variable. I thought it expected things like %s, %d etc :nervous:

its probably because vb developers thought {1} and {2} would make more sense to end users...

As far as I can judge, {1}, {2} etc. is just a nice and friendly user end thingy. In the $vbphrase array, these get replaced with % equivalents.

build_language() converts the bracevars into the necessary %x$s stuff

Ahhh, thanks for that. Somehow that spurred me on to complete my hack.

My hack is to make the Unread after Private messages red but only if there are unread messages:

Being a bit of a newbie is this 1 line hack worth posting and if so where is the best place?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
