sprintf

Hi there!

Does anyone know a 100% clone of the C/C++ printf for Delphi? Yes, I know the System.Format function, but it handles things a little different.

For example if you want to format 3 to "003" you need "%03d" in C, but "%.3d" in Delphi.

I have an application written in Delphi which has to be able to format numbers using C format strings, so do you know a snippet/library for that?

Thanks in advance!
