[Kiran Pinjala]

Hi, Can I pass a string with some %s in it as first parameter in printf/sprintf. something like bellow

char str[16]="my name is %s";
char name[8]="xman";
char res[24];
sprintf(res,str,xman);
printf("%s",res);

can we achieve this?

sprintf(res,str,xman);

What do you expect? You did not declare that variable.
