::)

%s - C-style NULL terminated strings
You cannot print std::string with cstdio; use iostream objects to do that.

You could use %s/%ws with c_str() for most basic_strings...

thx alot. does anyone know where to find a table with all the other placeholder variables? i was looking for that for 30min ¬_¬

I'm not usually so curt, but.. you really need to RTFM.

Yes.  This is trivial to find if you look up printf in any reference manual.

You also need to stop trolling.  People will get to you when they can get to you.

I don't think I'm ever going to help you, and I hope no one else does, either.

You don't need a manual for the compiler, rather a manual for the language.  I'd recommend The C Programming Language by Kernighan & Ritchie.

RTFM = Read the fucking manual

Yes, we know. That's what we've been subtly (and not-so-subtly) trying to get you to do.

So download one. What do expect us to do, spoonfeed you your program line by line?

manual == documentation, retard.
