graduated printing

[marsd]

I would like to be able to format my printing
dynamically:
example:

for (x=10 ; x > 0 ; x--) {
if (x < prev) {
printf &quot;%(x + 1)d&quot;, x
}
prev = x
}

of course this doesn't work.
What is the syntax that I need for this?

TIA

You can try:

for (x=10 ; x > 0 ; x--) {
if (x < prev) {
Format = &quot;%&quot; x + 1 &quot;d&quot;;
printf Format, x;
}
prev = x
}

The idea is to build the Format string outside of the printf command ...

Thanks, I'll try it.
