printf output to string possible ?

[Jose]

Hi. Is there a way that one can have the output of printf() put into a string instead of stdout ? I know there's a function to change the output stream but it requires a file or handle to be passed IIRC...
I have done a function that does this but it's a bit limited on the types it uses, I thought that maybe printf() could be used for this also....

Sounds great :-)

"(void (*)(void))"

Wouldn't a simple cast to void work here? I don't get it, it's not even a function.. :-?

Yeah that's cool, but I'm allocating the space dynamically after checking the size with strlen().

Ahhh... ok.  :-)
