| FormatCurrency, FormatNumber, and FormatPercent return a string obtained by formatting the given expression as a currency, number, or percent. The required parameter, ''expression'', is any valid expression of the given type.
| | Replaces {n} placeholders with arguments. One or more arguments can be passed, in addition to the string itself, to insert into the string. Arguments can be three different style: |
| | | <ol> |
| The optional parameter, ''fractionaldigits'', is a numeric expression representing the number of digits to print after the decimal. The default is -1 which uses the system settings.
| | <li>{} Empty brackets. Placeholders are replaced with arguments in the same order as they appear in the function call. |
| | | <li>{1] Brackets with a number. Placeholders are replaced by the argument number as it appears in the function call. |
| The optional parameters, ''leadingdigit'', ''parensfornegative'', and ''groupdigits'', are tristate values. See table below.
| | <li>{name} Brackets with a name. Placeholders are replaced by the value of the name in the argument object. |
| | | </ol> |
| ''leadingdigit'' specifies whether a leading zero is printed for numbers with only fractional parts.
| |
| | |
| ''parensfornegative'' specifies if negative values are to be printed with enclosing parentheses.
| |
| | |
| ''groupdigits'' specifies if numbers are to be printed in groups using the systems group delimiter.

Format(string, replace0[,replace1...])
Format(string, {replace object})
Description
Replaces {n} placeholders with arguments. One or more arguments can be passed, in addition to the string itself, to insert into the string. Arguments can be three different style:
- {} Empty brackets. Placeholders are replaced with arguments in the same order as they appear in the function call.
- {1] Brackets with a number. Placeholders are replaced by the argument number as it appears in the function call.
- {name} Brackets with a name. Placeholders are replaced by the value of the name in the argument object.
Example
guy = {first: "Eric", last: "Cartman"};
NSB.Print("hello {} and {}".format("you", "bob"));
NSB.Print("hello {0} and {1}".format("you", "bob"));
NSB.Print("hello {first} {last}".format(guy));
NSB.Print("hello {0} and {1} and {a}".format("you", "bob", {a:"mary"}));
NSB.Print("hello {0} and {1} and {a} and {2}".format("you", "bob", "jill", {a:"mary"}));
guy = {first: "Eric", last: "Cartman"}
Print Format("hello {} and {}", "you", "bob")
Print Format("hello {0} And {1}", "you", "bob")
Print Format("hello {first} {last}",guy)
Print Format("hello {0} and {1} and {a}", "you", "bob", {a:"mary"})
Print Format("hello {0} and {1} and {a} and {2}", "you", "bob", "jill", {a:"mary"})
Output
hello you and bob
hello you and bob
hello Eric Cartman
hello you and bob and mary
hello you and bob and mary and jill
