zPrintz

A simple library that contains a custom printf for C with new format arguments

How-To

Just include the header file your project and define its implementation:

#define ZPRINTZ_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "zprintz.h"

Test and functionalities

To build and run the test file

$ ./bar.bat 

Example

#include <stdio.h>

#define ZPRINTZ_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "src/zprintz.h"

int main(void){

  zprintz("{green}Decimal Z{white}: {yellow}{d}{white}\n", 10);

  return 0;
}

Output > Decimal Z : 10

Format Specifiers

Format Argument	What it does
{d}	Format specifier for the integers.
{x}	Format specifier for the hexadecimals. (lower-case)
{X}	Format specifier for the hexadecimals. (upper-case)
{o}	Format specifier for the octals.
{b}	Format specifier for the binary.
{f}	Format specifier for the floats.
{r}	Format specifier for the rational rapresentation for the floats.
{c}	Format specifier for the chars.
{s}	Format specifier for the strings.
{p}	Format specifier for the poiners. (lower-case)
{P}	Format specifier for the poiners. (upper-case)
{color}	Format specifier for the ANSI colors strings.

To change the color of the text to print

Colors Arguments	What it does
{red}	Turn the text red
{green}	Turn the text green
{yellow}	Turn the text yellow
{blue}	Turn the text blue
{magenta}	Turn the text magenta
{cyan}	Turn the text cyan
{white}	Turn the text white

Padding been added

When used a format specifier like {d} to add padding you can just add the amount of padding wanted before the specifier. Example

Padding types	What it does
{paddingformat}	Add a left padding to the formatted string
{-paddingformat}	Add a right padding to the formatted string
{*format}	Add a variable padding from the arguments to the formatted string
{padding}	Add a padding to the string without any specifier
{*}	Add a variable padding to the formatted string without any specifier

 zprintz("{green}Decimal Z{white}: {yellow}{10d}{white}\n", 10);

 Output > Decimal Z: 10

 zprintz("{green}Decimal Z{white}: {yellow}{-10d}{white}\n", 10);

 Output > Decimal Z:           10

 zprintz("{green}Decimal Z{white}: {yellow}{*d}{white}\n", -10, 10);

 Output > Decimal Z:           10

 zprintz("{green}Decimal Z{white}: {10}{yellow}{d}{white}\n", 10);

 Output > Decimal Z:           10

 zprintz("{green}Decimal Z{white}: {*}{yellow}{d}{white}\n", -10, 10);

 Output > Decimal Z:           10

Example

 zprintz("{green}Decimal Z{white}: {yellow}{d}{white}\n", 10);
