Hi All,

This may be my own stupidity but why does this happen:

  *   Version   3.03/04        2 May 2002   *
  *                                         *

Type ? for help. Commands must be C++ statements.
Enclose multiple statements between { }.

//----- Prints bob smith
root [0] cout << Form("%s %s", "bob", "smith") << endl;  <----- Prints
bob smith
bob smith

//----- Only prints bob
root [1] cout << Form("%s %s", TString("bob"), TString("smith")) << endl;  
bob

//----- Prints bob smith
root [2] Printf("%s %s\n", "bob", "smith");
bob smith

//----- Only prints bob
root [3] Printf("%s %s\n", TString("bob"), TString("smith")); <-----
Only prints bob         
bob

root [4]

I was encoutering this whilst creating sql strings from TString
variables  (ie   TString sql = Form("SELECT * FROM %s WHERE blah = '%s",
tstring_var1, tstring_var2);  )

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks :-)
