Formatting notation[edit source]

%.2f - This means format the variable with 2 decimal places.

%.0f - This will format the variable with 0 decimal places, so is the normal choice for integers.

%5.0f - The number in front of the point specifies the minimum width of the number. In this case, there will always be enough space in front of the number for 5 digits:

Number    12 wins
Number  1234 wins

Formating switches[edit source]

The following formatting switches can be used in Oblivion. Put them in any sequence right after the '%'

Switch Function
+ Display + in front of positive numbers
<Space> Leave a leading space in front of positive numbers
- Use left-aligned formation instead of right alligned.
0 The filling-char used for formatting is '0' instead of ' '

Other Functions[edit source]

%g - This usually works just like "%.0f", displaying 0 decimal places. When the number is 1000000 or larger, though, the game displays it in scientific notation (1E+006)

%.3e - Shows numbers in scientific notation (123000 = 1.23E+005)

%% - Use this to display a percent-sign in the message
