    <p>C# has syntax that allows you to specify the argument index in a string format specifier, e.g.:</p> <pre><code>string message = string.Format("Hello, {0}. You are {1} years old. How does it feel to be {1}?", name, age); </code></pre> <p>You can use arguments more than once and also omit arguments that are provided from being used. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/462580/string-format-for-c">Another question</a> mentions the same formatting for C/C++ in the form of <code>%[index]$[format]</code>, e.g. <code>%1$i</code>. I have not been able to get NSString to <strong>fully</strong> respect this syntax, because it does behave well when <em>omitting arguments</em> from the format. The following does not work as expected (EXC_BAD_ACCESS because it attempts to dereference the <code>age</code> parameter as a NSObject*):</p> <pre><code>int age = 23; NSString * name = @"Joe"; NSString * message = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Age: %2$i", name, age]; </code></pre> <p>The positional arguments are respected only if there are no missing arguments from the format (which seems to be an odd requirement):</p> <pre><code>NSString * message = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Age: %2$i; Name: %1$@", name, age]; </code></pre> <p>All these calls work properly in OS X:</p> <pre><code>printf("Age: %2$i", [name UTF8String], age); printf("Age: %2$i %1$s", [name UTF8String], age); </code></pre> <p>Is there a way of accomplishing this using NSString in Objective-C / Cocoa? It would be useful for localization purposes.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
