Text formatting

This type of assignment operator is only for fields of string type SSTRING, DSTRING, MSTRING.

For more information, see Field data types.

Syntax

Use it to format text with the syntax [*'formattedText',list of params…].

• Formatted text includes both plain text and formatters, according to the .NET format syntax.

• Follow the text with a list of comma-separated parameter values. The number depends on the number of formatter placeholder in the formatted text.

• Use a prefix before each value to explicitly define its nature and use the right formatter.

• The formatter operator supports nesting.

• However, even if the syntax is the same as those used for nested assignments, you cannot have nested text formatting.
