[lazarus] Format routines

[Tony Maro]

I thought it seemed like something was missing... lol

This is
from:http://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache:ZfaAK0EUMgQC:www.quickreferences.yucom.be/QRC/Delphi%2520Technical%2520Reference%2520Card%25207.20.pdf+format+delphi+float+string+%25f+%25m+%25n&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

But I included the text in case the link above wont work without my
google cookie.  The original PDF is gone but Google indexed the text:

format('%.3d', [<integer:4>]);   '004'
format('%2.2d%2.2d%4d', [1,1,2000]);   '01012000'
format('%.0n', [<real: 1234567>]);   '1,234,567'
format('%.2n', [<real: 12345.675>]);  '12,345.68'
format('%m', [<real: 12.34567>]);  '$12.35'
format('%x',  [<integer: 43>]);   '2B'
format('%p', [<pointer>]);    '8 chr adr'
format('%s' string.', ['some']);  'Some string.'
format('{%-4.3s} {%4.2s}', ['L123', 'R123']);  '{L12 } { R1}'
format('%2:s %1:s %0:s', ['1st', '2nd', 3rd']);  '3rd 2nd 1st'
format('{%*.*f}', [<len:9>, <dec:4>, 100*pi]);  '{ 314.1593}'
