I write a new application and will use format: now. Thanks;-) On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 4:03 PM, Torsten Bergmann <astares@gmx.de> wrote:

#bindWith: is the same as using #format but not using "{x}" syntax but "%x" syntax instead.

In Pharo you we usualy write:

'foo {1} bar' format: {Date today}

which returns 'foo 11 July 2012 bar'

I think it was VisualAge that used #bindWith: and % as marker, so if you want to port code from that Smalltalk to Pharo it may be helpful to add support for that.

So it does the same - only a little bit different:

'foo %1 bar' bindWith: Date today aString

Thats why it is now in http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/PharoGoodies.html Another option is to rewrite code to use #format:
