AppendFormat()
OutputVar := instance.AppendFormat(str, arg, arg2, ..., argN)
Appends the string returned by processing a composite format string, which contains zero or more format items, to this instance. Each format item is replaced by the string representation of a corresponding argument in a parameter array.
str
String to format. Can be any object derived from MfObject or var containing string.
A format string composed of literal text and placeholders of the form {Index:Format}.
Index is an integer indicating which input value to use, where 0 is the first value.
Format is an optional format specifier, as described below.
Omit the index to use the next input value in the sequence (even if it has been used earlier in the string). For example, "{2:i} {:i}" formats the second and third input values as decimal integers, separated by a space. If Index is omitted, Format must still be preceded by :. Specify empty braces to use the next input value with default formatting: {}
Use {{} and {}} to include literal braces in the string. Any other invalid placeholders are included in the result as is.
arg
One or more args to format str with.
Input values to be formatted and inserted into the final string. Each value is a separate parameter. The first value has an index of 0.
See Format Specifiers for format options.
This method uses the composite formatting feature to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in the current StringBuilder object.
