我将添加我自己的发现，这些发现是我问过之后发现的：

number_format（用于千位分隔符/货币格式）sprintf（作者同上）

遗憾的是，sprintf似乎不能像.NET的字符串格式那样处理千位分隔符格式。

如果需要printf，请使用printf

看起来90%的评论从未使用过比%d更复杂的printf格式。例如，我想知道他们是如何输出货币价值的？

bobjs可以做到这一点：

var sFormat = "My name is {0} and I am {1} years old."; 
var result = bob.string.formatString(sFormat, "Bob", 29); 
console.log(result); 
//output: 
//========== 
// My name is Bob and I am 29 years old. 

/**
 * Format string by replacing placeholders with value from element with
 * corresponsing index in `replacementArray`.
 * Replaces are made simultaneously, so that replacement values like
 * '{1}' will not mess up the function.
 *
 * Example 1:
 * ('{2} {1} {0}', ['three', 'two' ,'one']) -> 'one two three'
 *
 * Example 2:
 * ('{0}{1}', ['{1}', '{0}']) -> '{1}{0}'
 */
function stringFormat(formatString, replacementArray) {
    return formatString.replace(
        /\{(\d+)\}/g, // Matches placeholders, e.g. '{1}'
        function formatStringReplacer(match, placeholderIndex) {
            // Convert String to Number
            placeholderIndex = Number(placeholderIndex);

            // Make sure that index is within replacement array bounds
            if (placeholderIndex < 0 ||
                placeholderIndex > replacementArray.length - 1
            ) {
                return placeholderIndex;
            }

            // Replace placeholder with value from replacement array
            return replacementArray[placeholderIndex];
        }
    );
}

String.prototype.repeat = function(n) { 
    return new Array(++n).join(this);

String.prototype.pad = function(requiredLength, paddingStr, paddingType) {    
    var n = requiredLength - this.length;

        paddingStr = paddingStr || ' ';
        paddingStr = paddingStr.repeat( Math.ceil(n / paddingStr.length) ).substr(0, n);

        if (paddingType == 'both') {
            n /= 2;

// синтаксис аналогичен printf

String.prototype.template = function(context) {

对于Node.js用户，util.format具有类似printf的功能：

util.format("%s world", "Hello")
