Description

When using String.Format(), if you include a number any remaining characters will be removed from the final output. In your Titanium App:

var forename = 'Paul';
var number = 21;
var message = String.format('Welcome, %s! You are visitor number %d', forename, number);
console.log(message);

Notice that this outputs as expected:


Welcome, Paul! You are visitor number 21

Now try the same code except this time add some additional text after you use the %d


var forename = 'Paul';
var number = 21;
var message = String.format('Welcome, %s! You are visitor number %d isn't that great!?', forename, number);
console.log(message);

Then take a look at the output -


Welcome, Paul! You are visitor number 21

Notice that the remaining text content is removed.
