Is there a cross programming language string formatting?

Question

If there is, I am guessing, it should be sprintf formatting in C language. Is this right? Are same format values (like %d, %s) supported by all well-known programming languages? Or is it differs?

Answer 1

No there isn't a cross platform standard, a pity but there you go. sprintf as the standard would I'm afraid come down to an arbitrary opinion, or perhaps one based on the prevalence of C based languages. Wouldn't be the "best" choice in my opinion that's for sure. :)
