Description
~~~~~~~~~~~

The `msprintf` writes formatted operands in its returned value (a
Scilab string). The argument operands are formatted under control of
the format operand.

Note that, in this case, the escape sequences ( `"\n"`) (in format)
split string to a matrix of string (see example)



Examples
~~~~~~~~


::

    `msprintf`_('%5.3f %5.3f',123,0.732)
    `msprintf`_('%5.3f\n%5.3f',123,0.732)
    `msprintf`_('--%s-\n-%d--',"hello",3)
