format into string bug

Backslash is a special character used to add functionalities to the string formatting (and searching), so must be treated with care. You are responsible to specify exaclty what you want to do.

String Editor is what pop up once I click "Edit Fromat String". Sorry for misunderstanding.

As I said before, when I use the "Edit format string" tool and do the following:

1. Output exact string <\

2. Format string %s

3. Output exact string >

It results in output exact string <\%s>. This is definitely not the expected behavior of this tool.

 EDIT: If you use "output exact string" to output a percent character, it does type it twice, so why not the backslash?

I see. I never used this tool. I agree that it doesn't handle properly the backslash character.
