====== Create String ====== 

===== Description =====

This functor generates a string based on contained parameters and a pre-defined format string.

===== Inputs =====

^ Name ^ Type ^ Description ^
| Format  | [[ String Type|String  ]]  | The format string, used to generate the final string.  |

===== Optional Inputs =====

===== Outputs =====

^ Name ^ Type ^ Description ^
| Result  | [[ String Type|String  ]]  | The string generated by this functor.  |

===== Group =====

[[Functor List#Map Algebra | Map Algebra]]

===== Notes ===== 

The output string is built from "blocks of strings" inside the format string.

For example, if you want  an output  string "cities_87", where 87 is a number that comes from the [[Step]] functor,  you need to write the format string as: \\
cities_<v1> where v1 represents a [[Number Value]] functor inside the "Create String" container.

Likewise, if you want to output a string "capitals_1.200", the format will be: \\
capitals_<v1,0,3>, where 1.2 comes from the number value with a precision of 3 digits.

For a valid format, such as string "cities_0001", the format will be cities<v1,4> where 4 is the padding number.

Also you can replace parts of the input string with other strings, such as "big_city". In this case, the format string will be: \\
big_<s1> where  s1 represents a Number String functor within the "Create String" container.

You can prefix "<" with a backslash ("\") to turn it into an ordinary character. For exemple, if you want  an output  string "cities_<87>", where 87 comes from another functor, you need to write the format string as: \\
<nowiki>cities_\<<v1>></nowiki>
