Re^5: using format twice

%s is a string format specification. The format specification matches /%([+-0#]? \d+ (.\d+)) ([bcdefginopsuxDEFGOUX])/x. Possibly most interesting to you are that a - left justifies in a field. The first digit group specifies the field width (minimum width for strings) and the second digit group is decimal digits for floats, minimum field width for integers and maximum field width for strings.

The flags most likely of interest to you are 'd' or 'i' (integer), 'f' (float) and 's' (string).
