This is a really simple library to build strings from a template and a list of arguments.

My main use case is for user facing translated strings.

How to use it?

There's an example in example directory.

To run the example:

cd example
alr run

Direct use

String_Templates.Substitute ("The {1} and the {2}", ["cat", "dog"]);

You can change de left/right delimiters and the escape character.

String_Templates.Substitute ("The |1| and the |2|", ["cat", "dog"],'|', '|');

Indirect use

Example : String_Templates.String_Template := "The {1} and the {2}";
Result : VSS.Strings.Virtual_String := Example.To_Virtual_String (["cat", "dog"]);

Design choices

• Converting your arguments to VSS.Strings.Virtual_String must be done before use.
• If there is more arguments than needed, they are just not used.
• If the template refers to more arguments than provided, the missing references are just not substituted.
