NSStringf. Simpler printf styled +[NSString stringWithFormat:]

If you thinks that +[NSString stringWithFormat:] is simply annoying.

If you missed the C style string formatter like printf() or NSLog().

[NSString stringWithFormat:@”Why should I type this long?”];

Consider following helper:

//

NSString *NSStringf(NSString *format, ...);

//
//  JTStringAddition.m
//
//  Created by James Tang on 27/08/2011.

//

#import "JTStringAddition.h"

NSString *NSStringf(NSString *format, ...) {
    va_list ap;
    NSString *str;
    va_start(ap,format);
    str=[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:format arguments:ap];
    va_end(ap);

    return [str autorelease];
}

NSStringf(@”It’s just so much easier. %@”, @”Really.”);
