{ String formatting routines }

{ The Format routine formats the argument list given by the Args parameter
  using the format string given by the Format parameter.

  Format strings contain two types of objects--plain characters and format
  specifiers. Plain characters are copied verbatim to the resulting string.
  Format specifiers fetch arguments from the argument list and apply
  formatting to them.

  Format specifiers have the following form:

    "%" [index ":"] ["-"] [width] ["." prec] type

  A format specifier begins with a % character. After the % come the
  following, in this order:

  -  an optional argument index specifier, [index ":"]
  -  an optional left-justification indicator, ["-"]
  -  an optional width specifier, [width]
  -  an optional precision specifier, ["." prec]
  -  the conversion type character, type

  The following conversion characters are supported:

  d  Decimal. The argument must be an integer value. The value is converted
     to a string of decimal digits. If the format string contains a precision
     specifier, it indicates that the resulting string must contain at least
     the specified number of digits; if the value has less digits, the
     resulting string is left-padded with zeros.

  e  Scientific. The argument must be a floating-point value. The value is
     converted to a string of the form "-d.ddd...E+ddd". The resulting
     string starts with a minus sign if the number is negative, and one digit
     always precedes the decimal point. The total number of digits in the
     resulting string (including the one before the decimal point) is given
     by the precision specifer in the format string--a default precision of
     15 is assumed if no precision specifer is present. The "E" exponent
     character in the resulting string is always followed by a plus or minus
     sign and at least three digits.

  f  Fixed. The argument must be a floating-point value. The value is
     converted to a string of the form "-ddd.ddd...". The resulting string
     starts with a minus sign if the number is negative. The number of digits
     after the decimal point is given by the precision specifier in the
     format string--a default of 2 decimal digits is assumed if no precision
     specifier is present.

  g  General. The argument must be a floating-point value. The value is
     converted to the shortest possible decimal string using fixed or
     scientific format. The number of significant digits in the resulting
     string is given by the precision specifier in the format string--a
     default precision of 15 is assumed if no precision specifier is present.
     Trailing zeros are removed from the resulting string, and a decimal
     point appears only if necessary. The resulting string uses fixed point
     format if the number of digits to the left of the decimal point in the
     value is less than or equal to the specified precision, and if the
     value is greater than or equal to 0.00001. Otherwise the resulting
     string uses scientific format.

  n  Number. The argument must be a floating-point value. The value is
     converted to a string of the form "-d,ddd,ddd.ddd...". The "n" format
     corresponds to the "f" format, except that the resulting string
     contains thousand separators.

  m  Money. The argument must be a floating-point value. The value is
     converted to a string that represents a currency amount. The conversion
     is controlled by the CurrencyString, CurrencyFormat, NegCurrFormat,
     ThousandSeparator, DecimalSeparator, and CurrencyDecimals global
     variables, all of which are initialized from the Currency Format in
     the International section of the Windows Control Panel. If the format
     string contains a precision specifier, it overrides the value given
     by the CurrencyDecimals global variable.

  p  Pointer. The argument must be a pointer value. The value is converted
     to a string of the form "XXXX:YYYY" where XXXX and YYYY are the
     segment and offset parts of the pointer expressed as four hexadecimal
     digits.

  s  String. The argument must be a character, a string, or a PChar value.
     The string or character is inserted in place of the format specifier.
     The precision specifier, if present in the format string, specifies the
     maximum length of the resulting string. If the argument is a string
     that is longer than this maximum, the string is truncated.

  x  Hexadecimal. The argument must be an integer value. The value is
     converted to a string of hexadecimal digits. If the format string
     contains a precision specifier, it indicates that the resulting string
     must contain at least the specified number of digits; if the value has
     less digits, the resulting string is left-padded with zeros.

  Conversion characters may be specified in upper case as well as in lower
  case--both produce the same results.

  For all floating-point formats, the actual characters used as decimal and
  thousand separators are obtained from the DecimalSeparator and
  ThousandSeparator global variables.

  Index, width, and precision specifiers can be specified directly using
  decimal digit string (for example "%10d"), or indirectly using an asterisk
  charcater (for example "%*.*f"). When using an asterisk, the next argument
  in the argument list (which must be an integer value) becomes the value
  that is actually used. For example "Format('%*.*f', [8, 2, 123.456])" is
  the same as "Format('%8.2f', [123.456])".

  A width specifier sets the minimum field width for a conversion. If the
  resulting string is shorter than the minimum field width, it is padded
  with blanks to increase the field width. The default is to right-justify
  the result by adding blanks in front of the value, but if the format
  specifier contains a left-justification indicator (a "-" character
  preceding the width specifier), the result is left-justified by adding
  blanks after the value.

  An index specifier sets the current argument list index to the specified
  value. The index of the first argument in the argument list is 0. Using
  index specifiers, it is possible to format the same argument multiple
  times. For example "Format('%d %d %0:d %d', [10, 20])" produces the string
  '10 20 10 20'.

  The Format function can be combined with other formatting functions. For
  example

    S := Format('Your total was %s on %s', [
      FormatFloat('$#,##0.00;;zero', Total),
      FormatDateTime('mm/dd/yy', Date)]);

  which uses the FormatFloat and FormatDateTime functions to customize the
  format beyond what is possible with Format. }

{ Floating point conversion routines }

{ FloatToStr converts the floating-point value given by Value to its string

  significant digits. For further details, see the description of the
  FloatToStrF function. }

function FloatToStr(Value: Extended): string;

{ CurrToStr converts the currency value given by Value to its string
  representation. The conversion uses general number format. For further
  details, see the description of the CurrToStrF function. }

function CurrToStr(Value: Currency): string;

{ FloatToStrF converts the floating-point value given by Value to its string
  representation. The Format parameter controls the format of the resulting
  string. The Precision parameter specifies the precision of the given value.
  It should be 7 or less for values of type Single, 15 or less for values of
  type Double, and 18 or less for values of type Extended. The meaning of the
  Digits parameter depends on the particular format selected.

  The possible values of the Format parameter, and the meaning of each, are
  described below.

  ffGeneral - General number format. The value is converted to the shortest
  possible decimal string using fixed or scientific format. Trailing zeros
  are removed from the resulting string, and a decimal point appears only
  if necessary. The resulting string uses fixed point format if the number
  of digits to the left of the decimal point in the value is less than or
  equal to the specified precision, and if the value is greater than or
  equal to 0.00001. Otherwise the resulting string uses scientific format,
  and the Digits parameter specifies the minimum number of digits in the
  exponent (between 0 and 4).

  ffExponent - Scientific format. The value is converted to a string of the
  form "-d.ddd...E+dddd". The resulting string starts with a minus sign if
  the number is negative, and one digit always precedes the decimal point.
  The total number of digits in the resulting string (including the one
  before the decimal point) is given by the Precision parameter. The "E"
  exponent character in the resulting string is always followed by a plus
  or minus sign and up to four digits. The Digits parameter specifies the
  minimum number of digits in the exponent (between 0 and 4).

  ffFixed - Fixed point format. The value is converted to a string of the
  form "-ddd.ddd...". The resulting string starts with a minus sign if the
  number is negative, and at least one digit always precedes the decimal
  point. The number of digits after the decimal point is given by the Digits
  parameter--it must be between 0 and 18. If the number of digits to the
  left of the decimal point is greater than the specified precision, the
  resulting value will use scientific format.

  ffNumber - Number format. The value is converted to a string of the form
  "-d,ddd,ddd.ddd...". The ffNumber format corresponds to the ffFixed format,
  except that the resulting string contains thousand separators.

  ffCurrency - Currency format. The value is converted to a string that
  represents a currency amount. The conversion is controlled by the
  CurrencyString, CurrencyFormat, NegCurrFormat, ThousandSeparator, and
  DecimalSeparator global variables, all of which are initialized from the
  Currency Format in the International section of the Windows Control Panel.
  The number of digits after the decimal point is given by the Digits
  parameter--it must be between 0 and 18.

  For all formats, the actual characters used as decimal and thousand
  separators are obtained from the DecimalSeparator and ThousandSeparator
  global variables.

  If the given value is a NAN (not-a-number), the resulting string is 'NAN'.
  If the given value is positive infinity, the resulting string is 'INF'. If
  the given value is negative infinity, the resulting string is '-INF'. }

function FloatToStrF(Value: Extended; Format: TFloatFormat;
  Precision, Digits: Integer): string;

{ CurrToStrF converts the currency value given by Value to its string
  representation. A call to CurrToStrF corresponds to a call to

function CurrToStrF(Value: Currency; Format: TFloatFormat;
  Digits: Integer): string;

{ FloatToText converts the given floating-point value to its decimal

  indicated by the ValueType parameter. The resulting string of characters
  is stored in the given buffer, and the returned value is the number of
  characters stored. The resulting string is not null-terminated. For
  further details, see the description of the FloatToStrF function. }

function FloatToText(Buffer: PChar; const Value; ValueType: TFloatValue;
  Format: TFloatFormat; Precision, Digits: Integer): Integer;

{ FormatFloat formats the floating-point value given by Value using the
  format string given by Format. The following format specifiers are
  supported in the format string:

  0     Digit placeholder. If the value being formatted has a digit in the
        position where the '0' appears in the format string, then that digit
        is copied to the output string. Otherwise, a '0' is stored in that
        position in the output string.

  #     Digit placeholder. If the value being formatted has a digit in the
        position where the '#' appears in the format string, then that digit
        is copied to the output string. Otherwise, nothing is stored in that
        position in the output string.

  .     Decimal point. The first '.' character in the format string
        determines the location of the decimal separator in the formatted
        value; any additional '.' characters are ignored. The actual
        character used as a the decimal separator in the output string is
        determined by the DecimalSeparator global variable. The default value
        of DecimalSeparator is specified in the Number Format of the
        International section in the Windows Control Panel.

  ,     Thousand separator. If the format string contains one or more ','
        characters, the output will have thousand separators inserted between
        each group of three digits to the left of the decimal point. The
        placement and number of ',' characters in the format string does not
        affect the output, except to indicate that thousand separators are
        wanted. The actual character used as a the thousand separator in the
        output is determined by the ThousandSeparator global variable. The
        default value of ThousandSeparator is specified in the Number Format
        of the International section in the Windows Control Panel.

  E+    Scientific notation. If any of the strings 'E+', 'E-', 'e+', or 'e-'
  E-    are contained in the format string, the number is formatted using
  e+    scientific notation. A group of up to four '0' characters can
  e-    immediately follow the 'E+', 'E-', 'e+', or 'e-' to determine the
        minimum number of digits in the exponent. The 'E+' and 'e+' formats
        cause a plus sign to be output for positive exponents and a minus
        sign to be output for negative exponents. The 'E-' and 'e-' formats
        output a sign character only for negative exponents.

  'xx'  Characters enclosed in single or double quotes are output as-is, and
  "xx"  do not affect formatting.

  ;     Separates sections for positive, negative, and zero numbers in the
        format string.

  The locations of the leftmost '0' before the decimal point in the format
  string and the rightmost '0' after the decimal point in the format string
  determine the range of digits that are always present in the output string.

  The number being formatted is always rounded to as many decimal places as
  there are digit placeholders ('0' or '#') to the right of the decimal
  point. If the format string contains no decimal point, the value being
  formatted is rounded to the nearest whole number.

  If the number being formatted has more digits to the left of the decimal
  separator than there are digit placeholders to the left of the '.'
  character in the format string, the extra digits are output before the
  first digit placeholder.

  To allow different formats for positive, negative, and zero values, the
  format string can contain between one and three sections separated by
  semicolons.

  One section - The format string applies to all values.

  Two sections - The first section applies to positive values and zeros, and
  the second section applies to negative values.

  Three sections - The first section applies to positive values, the second
  applies to negative values, and the third applies to zeros.

  If the section for negative values or the section for zero values is empty,
  that is if there is nothing between the semicolons that delimit the
  section, the section for positive values is used instead.

  If the section for positive values is empty, or if the entire format string
  is empty, the value is formatted using general floating-point formatting
  with 15 significant digits, corresponding to a call to FloatToStrF with
  the ffGeneral format. General floating-point formatting is also used if
  the value has more than 18 digits to the left of the decimal point and
  the format string does not specify scientific notation.

  The table below shows some sample formats and the results produced when
  the formats are applied to different values:

  Format string          1234        -1234       0.5         0
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

{ FloatToDecimal converts a floating-point value to a decimal representation
  that is suited for further formatting. The Value parameter must be a
  variable of type Extended or Currency, as indicated by the ValueType
  parameter. For values of type Extended, the Precision parameter specifies
  the requested number of significant digits in the result--the allowed range
  is 1..18. For values of type Currency, the Precision parameter is ignored,
  and the implied precision of the conversion is 19 digits. The Decimals
  parameter specifies the requested maximum number of digits to the left of
  the decimal point in the result. Precision and Decimals together control
  how the result is rounded. To produce a result that always has a given
  number of significant digits regardless of the magnitude of the number,
  specify 9999 for the Decimals parameter. The result of the conversion is
  stored in the specified TFloatRec record as follows:

  Exponent - Contains the magnitude of the number, i.e. the number of
  significant digits to the right of the decimal point. The Exponent field
  is negative if the absolute value of the number is less than one. If the
  number is a NAN (not-a-number), Exponent is set to -32768. If the number
  is INF or -INF (positive or negative infinity), Exponent is set to 32767.

  Negative - True if the number is negative, False if the number is zero
  or positive.

  Digits - Contains up to 18 (for type Extended) or 19 (for type Currency)
  significant digits followed by a null terminator. The implied decimal
  point (if any) is not stored in Digits. Trailing zeros are removed, and
  if the resulting number is zero, NAN, or INF, Digits contains nothing but
  the null terminator. }

          the LongTimeFormat global variable. The time is not displayed if
          the fractional part of the DateTime value is zero.

  d       Displays the day as a number without a leading zero (1-31).

  dd      Displays the day as a number with a leading zero (01-31).

  ddd     Displays the day as an abbreviation (Sun-Sat) using the strings
          given by the ShortDayNames global variable.

  dddd    Displays the day as a full name (Sunday-Saturday) using the strings
          given by the LongDayNames global variable.

  ddddd   Displays the date using the format given by the ShortDateFormat
          global variable.

  dddddd  Displays the date using the format given by the LongDateFormat
          global variable.

  g       Displays the period/era as an abbreviation (Japanese and
          Taiwanese locales only).

  gg      Displays the period/era as a full name.

  e       Displays the year in the current period/era as a number without
          a leading zero (Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese locales only).

  ee      Displays the year in the current period/era as a number with
          a leading zero (Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese locales only).

  m       Displays the month as a number without a leading zero (1-12). If
          the m specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the
          minute rather than the month is displayed.

  mm      Displays the month as a number with a leading zero (01-12). If
          the mm specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the
          minute rather than the month is displayed.

  mmm     Displays the month as an abbreviation (Jan-Dec) using the strings
          given by the ShortMonthNames global variable.

  mmmm    Displays the month as a full name (January-December) using the
          strings given by the LongMonthNames global variable.

  yy      Displays the year as a two-digit number (00-99).

  yyyy    Displays the year as a four-digit number (0000-9999).

  h       Displays the hour without a leading zero (0-23).

  hh      Displays the hour with a leading zero (00-23).

  n       Displays the minute without a leading zero (0-59).

  nn      Displays the minute with a leading zero (00-59).

  s       Displays the second without a leading zero (0-59).

  ss      Displays the second with a leading zero (00-59).

  t       Displays the time using the format given by the ShortTimeFormat
          global variable.

  tt      Displays the time using the format given by the LongTimeFormat
          global variable.

  am/pm   Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and
          displays 'am' for any hour before noon, and 'pm' for any hour
          after noon. The am/pm specifier can use lower, upper, or mixed
          case, and the result is displayed accordingly.

  a/p     Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and
          displays 'a' for any hour before noon, and 'p' for any hour after
          noon. The a/p specifier can use lower, upper, or mixed case, and
          the result is displayed accordingly.

  ampm    Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and
          displays the contents of the TimeAMString global variable for any
          hour before noon, and the contents of the TimePMString global
          variable for any hour after noon.

  /       Displays the date separator character given by the DateSeparator
          global variable.

  :       Displays the time separator character given by the TimeSeparator
          global variable.

  'xx'    Characters enclosed in single or double quotes are displayed as-is,
  "xx"    and do not affect formatting.

  Format specifiers may be written in upper case as well as in lower case
  letters--both produce the same result.

  If the string given by the Format parameter is empty, the date and time
  value is formatted as if a 'c' format specifier had been given.

  The following example:

    S := FormatDateTime('"The meeting is on" dddd, mmmm d, yyyy, ' +
      '"at" hh:mm AM/PM', StrToDateTime('2/15/95 10:30am'));

  assigns 'The meeting is on Wednesday, February 15, 1995 at 10:30 AM' to
  the string variable S. }
