Extra Characters after output to debug window

Hello,

i'm seeing extra chars like "^p" and "^n" or "^Mx" when I output Item links or play names via the "d()" method. i'm also see this if I stored a custom variable. is there a way to prevent this or what are these extra charactersa

Use function zo_strformat(pattern, ...). For names is usually used pattern SI_UNIT_NAME or "<<C:1>>".

Lua Code:

d(zo_strformat(SI_UNIT_NAME, name))

A bit more about zo_strformat, its patterns and control characters like "^p" or "^n":

Function zo_strformat works for item links the same way as for regular strings.

Example:

lua Code:

local itemLink = "|H1:item:16424:1:50:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:7:0:0:0:0|h|h"
d(zo_strformat("ItemLink: <<t:1>>", itemLink))

Prints:
ItemLink: [Racial Motifs 1: The High Elves]
