FormatStringBuffer (cdk 2.9 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.openscience.cdk.tools.FormatStringBuffer

```
public class FormatStringBuffer
extends Object
```
A class for formatting output similar to the C printf command.
Some features provided by ANSI C-standard conformant printfs are not supported because of language constraints.
Supported conversion specifiers are: 'c', 'd', 'e', 'E', 'f', 'g' (works like 'f'), 'i', 'o', 's', 'x' and 'X'.
Supported conversion flags are: '#', '0', '-', ' ' (a space) and '+'.
Support for conversion flag '*' is under development.

Version:

1.7

Author:

Antti S. Brax (asb@iki.fi, base implementation), Fred Long (flong(AT)skcc.org, implemented 'e', 'E' and 'g')
