Subj : console.putmsg alternative that returns a string To : All From : Nightfox Date : Tue Sep 30 2014 12:39 pm Is there an alternative to console.putmsg() that returns a string instead of outputting to the console? What I'd like to do is to have @-codes, etc. interpreted in a string and save that string so I can then pass that string to printf() so I can specify a field length for the text.
