Formats! Gosh, how quaint! sprintf() is the preferred - and far more readable - alternative.

Also, which is line 52? I doubt that many people can be bothered to count lines for you.

For a usage like we see in the OP, sure, sprintf() is the way to go.

Have you even written a multi-page report using nothing but sprintf()? It's painful but formats make it bearable.
