- fprintf:
-
- Syntax: fprintf ( file_string , format_string , VARi ... )
-
- Description:
-
- The RLaB fprintf() is a limited feature version of the
- C-language fprintf(). The features are limited because RLaB
- does not support all of the data types the C-language does.
-
- file_string: The 1st string argument determines the file to
- which the output is sent. If the filename starts with a '|'
- then a pipe is opened to the process following the '|' and the
- output is written to the pipe. For example:
-
- > fprintf("|gnuplot"; "set term X11\n plot sin(x)\n");
-
- will create the sub-process gnuplot, and pipe the command
- string to it.
-
- format_string: A valid fprintf format string.
-
- VARi: Are any number of constants or variables that match the
- format string. fprintf() cannot print out vector, matrix, or
- list objects as a whole. Valid print objects are strings,
- constants, and scalars.
-
- See Also: printf, sprintf, write, read
