display variables in labels?

[amaranth]

Anyone know how I would do the following? I'd like to display the following type of string in a label:

Mix [ingredient 1], [ingredient 2], and [ingredient 3] in a [container type] and stir with a spoon [amt] times.

Should I be using something other than a label for this? I saw the option to change text color, but I'm not sure how to do anything more advanced. Thanks!

You have to do it before assigning the text value of the label.

Use string.format and you'll be set

psudo code

1. label.text = string.format("Mix {0}, {1}, and {2} in a {3} and stir with a spoon {4} times.", ingredient1.ToString(), ingredient2.ToString(), ingredient3.ToString(), containerType.ToString(), armt.ToString());

No need to ToString() any of that btw.

haha you're right. I remember when I was writing that I didn't have any ToString and then I thought "What am I doing!?" and added them in. I hate it when I lose track of what I'm doing.
