Format
convert object to formatted string
Description
Like Sprint, this function converts the value of E into a string. If
the string has fewer than N characters, then spaces are added to the
front to make the length N.
Example
L := [1,2,3]; M := Format(L,20); M; [1, 2, 3] ------------------------------- Type(L); LIST ------------------------------- Type(M); STRING ------------------------------- Format(L,2); -- <quotes>Format</quotes> does not truncate [1, 2, 3] -------------------------------
Syntax
Format(E:OBJECT,N:INT):STRING
