Create String

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

Map Algebra

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:
cities_\<<v1>>
