Paul King updated GROOVY-11569:
-------------------------------
Summary: Create a sprintf shortcut for 1-arg usage (was: Create a format
shortcut for 1-arg usage)
> Create a sprintf shortcut for 1-arg usage
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-11569
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11569
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Paul King
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently we support:
> {code:groovy}
> var x = 1/3
> assert sprintf('%5.3f', x) == '0.333'
> {code}
> Or you can use:
> {code:groovy}
> assert String.format('%5.3f', x) == '0.333'
> {code}
> I propose we also support:
> {code:groovy}
> assert x.format('%5.3f') == '0.333'
> assert [x, x, x]*.format('%5.3f') == ['0.333', '0.333', '0.333']
> {code}
> It is intended to be a shortcut only for format strings containing a single
> format specifier (or at least referencing a single argument).
