Question:
I want to insert escape codes when using the Format() function. I'm
trying to create a tab-delimited string. In "C" I could do something
like sprintf(buffer, "%s\t%s", str);. How might I accomplish this in
Pascal?
Answer:
The Pascal Format function does not use escape codes. Instead, you
should insert the actual characters into the string using their ASCII
representations:
Note that embedded character codes must be placed outside of the
quotes.
Examples:
Buffer := Format('%s'#9'%s', [Str1, Str2]);
ShowMessage(Format('%s'#9'%s', ['Column1', 'Column2']));
