Hi
Just so that thousands of applications are not made immediately obsolete, could you just reassure the (non-dev) members, that printf() and sprintf() will not slip into obscurity any time in the near future. Or ever.

So when I said in message:109887, "printf is not going to go away as far as I can see", what did you think I meant?
Well, when Gordon Brown says the economy is picking up, what do you think he means? Was the pH a bit low there?

For what it's worth, I give my ironclad guarantee that printf and sprintf won't go away anytime in the near future. The printf() syntax is too ubiquitous (in C and also in shell scripts) to fade away anytime soon, which keeps it as a useful addition to Eu in general.
(I'm speaking only for myself here.)
