Here's a quickie I wrote to allow for a formatted string fuction while editing VB code on a Windows operating system. Call it from server side VB as:
Dim Foo Foo = format_string( "<ol><li>%s</li><li>%s</li></ol>", "foo", "bar" )

<script language="perlscript" runat="server"> # ' Format a string like perl's sprintf function # ' # ' # ' Input: A format string followed by a list of values # ' to insert into the string. # ' # ' Output A formatted string. # ' # ' example: format_string( "<p>%s</p>", "Now is the time of +our ..." ) # ' # ' prints: <p>Now is the time of our ...</p> # ' # ' see http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/pod/func/sprintf.html # ' for complete details and other formatting. sub format_string { my $format = shift; return sprintf $format, @_; } </script>
