Returns string representation suitable for passing to OS' functions for
file handling. In ANSI build, this is same as \helpref{c\_str}{wxstringcstr}.
In Unicode build, returned value can be either wide character string

Similar to the standard function {\it sprintf()}. Returns the number of
characters written, or an integer less than zero on error.
+Note that if {\tt wxUSE\_PRINTF\_POS\_PARAMS} is set to 1, then this function supports
+Unix98-style positional parameters:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxString str;
+
+ str.Printf(wxT("%d %d %d"), 1, 2, 3);
+ // str now contains "1 2 3"
+
+ str.Printf(wxT("%2$d %3$d %1$d"), 1, 2, 3);
+ // str now contains "2 3 1"
+\end{verbatim}
+
{\bf NB:} This function will use a safe version of {\it vsprintf()} (usually called
{\it vsnprintf()}) whenever available to always allocate the buffer of correct
size. Unfortunately, this function is not available on all platforms and the

See \helpref{wxString::ToLong}{wxstringtolong} for the more detailed
description of the {\it base} parameter.
