=={{header|E}}==

 

 

The <code>`...`</code> syntax in general may be used as a sort of syntax extension; string interpolation is just the default case. [http://www.erights.org/elang/grammar/quasi-overview.html More information on E quasi-literals.] (Note that this documentation may be somewhat out of date.)

The above code is equivalent to (expands into):

 

 

If an identifier precedes the opening <code>`</code>, then it replaces <code>simple</code>; the quasiParser may be an arbitrary user-defined object. In this way, E provides lightweight syntax for embedding other languages: XML, JSON, GUI layouts, regular expressions, etc.

=={{header|EchoLisp}}==

'''format''' and '''printf''' use replacement directives to perform interpolation. See [http://www.echolalie.org/echolisp/help.html#format format specification] in EchoLisp documentatiuon.

;; format uses %a or ~a as replacement directive

(format "Mary had a ~a lamb" "little")

(format "Mary had a %a lamb" "little")

→ "Mary had a little lamb"

Interpolating a variable value into a string is done by using a $ prefix on the variable name within a string. For example:

 

fansh> x := "little"

little

fansh> echo ("Mary had a $x lamb")

Mary had a little lamb

It is also possible to use C library functions such as printf or sprintf, which allow more conventional string interpolation,

printf("Mary also had a %s lamb", x)

[http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/library/src/procs/strings.icn Note the strings library includes convenient procedures for string replacement] such as replace(s1,s2,s3) which replaces all occurrences of s2 in s1 with s3 and replacem(s1,s2,s3,...) which replaces multiple pairs.

=={{header|Lua}}==

There is no default support for automatic interpolation of variables names being used as placeholders within a string. However, interpolation is easily emulated by using the [string.gsub] function:

 

 

or using [string.format] function like C:

str2 = ( "Mary had a %s lamb." ):format( "little" )

 

=== Literal characters ===

Interpolation of literal characters escape sequences does occur within a string:

Nemerle has a few ways to accomplish this. It provides an implementation of '''printf()''', $ interpolation within the '''print()''' method, and the most general use is $ interpolation within $ quoted strings.

<pre style="height: 5ex; overflow:scroll;">

Nim offers two methods to build a string with interpolation.

The first one uses the procedure <code>format</code> or the operator <code>%</code>. Note that with the procedure, an implicit conversion of the arguments is done. With the operator, the conversion must be explicit, using for instance the <code>$</code> operator.

 

var str = "little"

echo "Mary had a $# lamb".format(str)

echo "Mary had a $# lamb" % [str]

 

The second method allows to place the expressions directly in the string. There is also two forms, one using the prefix "fmt", the other using the prefix "&". The second form must be used if the string contains newline characters.

 

 

var str: string = "little"

echo fmt"Mary had a {str} lamb"

 

=={{header|OCaml}}==

The OCaml standard library provides the module [http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Printf.html Printf]:

 

 

Another option is to use compiler plugin mechanism and [https://opam.ocaml.org/packages/ppx_string_interpolation/ ppx_string_interpolation]:

 

let extra = "little" in

[%string "Mary had a $extra lamb."]

 

=={{header|OOC}}==

=={{header|Oz}}==

String interpolation is unidiomatic in Oz. Instead, "virtual strings" are used. [http://www.mozart-oz.org/documentation/op/node4.html Virtual strings] are tuples of printable values and are supported by many library functions.

SenseTalk does string interpolation through the <code>merge</code> function, which can evaluate any sort of embedded expression, including entire sections of code like conditionals or repeat loops. For convenience, the merge function can be invoked by simply using a <code>!</code> before a string literal (this is needed because string literals are actually literal in SenseTalk -- there are no characters with hidden meaning by default).

 

put "Mary had a [[x]] lamb." -- this is a literal string

=={{header|Tcl}}==

String interpolation is a fundamental operation of the Tcl language itself, and is carried out in a <tt>"</tt>double-quoted<tt>"</tt> program strings as well as bare-words. Thus, interpolation of the string from a variable is carried out with the <tt>$</tt> syntax and the string result of a command is interpolated with the <tt>[…]</tt> syntax.

puts "Mary had a $size lamb."

 

lindex $args [expr {int(rand()*[llength $args])}]

}

When more sophisticated control is required the <code>format</code> command can be used, which is very similar to the standard [[C]] library's <code>sprintf</code> function:

 

A third approach is to use <code>string map</code>.

 

Tcl also supports variable variable names. Even more powerful is nested interpolation with the <tt>subst</tt> command.

Within the Unix shell, interpolation only occurs within doublequotes. Strings enclosed in singlequotes will not be subject to interpolation. Note that within the shell, a string may be used bare. If this is done each word within the string is treated separately, and any variable references or escape sequences will be substituted for their values:

 

echo Mary had a $extra lamb.

echo "Mary had a $extra lamb."

 

A ''parameter substitution'', like <code>$extra</code> or <code>${extra}</code>, interpolates its value into some string. This happens outside quotes or inside "double quotes". The other form of interpolation is [http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=printf&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html printf(1)] with <code>%s</code>.

 

==={{header|C Shell}}===

echo Mary had a $extra lamb.

echo "Mary had a $extra lamb."

 

C Shell has <code>$extra</code> and <code>${extra}</code>. There are also modifiers, like <code>$file:t</code>; [http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=csh&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html csh(1) manual] explains those.

=={{header|Ursala}}==

Expressions like this

evaluate to a list of character strings beginning with <code>foo</code> and ending

with <code>bar</code>, where <code>foo</code> and <code>bar</code> are literal text (possibly multiple lines)

and <code>x</code> is any expression evaluating to a list of character

strings. Using a dot like this

makes it a function returning a list of character strings consisting

of the output from the function <code>f</code> bracketed by the literal text <code>foo</code>

and <code>bar</code>. In this task, the identity function, <code>~&</code>, is used for <code>f</code>.
