How to get the formatted string of printf?

Question

With printf we can print a formatted string to the console output.

Question: How can we get the formatted string as std::string?

`sprintf()` is probably what you're looking for... – Fiddling Bits Nov 28 '13 at 21:03 — Fiddling Bits, Nov 28 '13 at 21:03

You may use sscanf to convert it to a char* and then, use it to make a std::string.

use sprintf instead, but it will return a char*

int sprintf ( char * str, const char * format, ... );
