String.Format equivalent

Introduction

Classic ASP - String.Format equivalent function

Background

I am working on an old ASP classic application (fixing bugs etc). Have to say, I still love traditional classic ASP.

It takes moments to do something that would normally take hours in .Net, plus it always feels so much faster to execute =)

Anyway, I needed a function similar to string.format in C#. I could not find anything on Google so created my own and thought I would share.

Using the code

Speaks for itself I think!

 Function StringFormat(sVal, aArgs)
  Dim i
  For i=0 To UBound(aArgs)
   sVal = Replace(sVal,"{" & CStr(i) & "}",aArgs(i))
  Next
  StringFormat = sVal
 End Function

 StringFormat("this {0} a tes{1} string containing {2} values", Array("is","t","some"))
