Is there a Basic+ function that can substitute values for placeholders ("%1", "%2", etc) in a string?

Oystein,
The only one I know is the "SWAP" statement.
SWAP "%1" WITH SOMETHING IN VARIABLE

Sprezz,
Sorry - already made one myself.
But I see yours is a pro version, using a %n% syntax, allowing more than 9 arguments.

Richard,
I read about such a function recently. Perhaps it's a Python function. I'm learning Python now because I'll teach Python this spring. It's my 12th or 13th programming language. Phew. I've lived too long.

Oystein,
Now you got me confused… ummm… hmmm….
The "SWAP" statement is an AREV and an OI statement. ???
What is Python?

Richard,

Just meant to say I was quite certain I recently read about a function to swap in values for placeholders, but the explanation could be the function was a Python function and not a Basic+ function. I'm currently learning Python in connection with some other part of my work.
Then I went further off on that tangent…
I did end up using the SWAP statement, coding in a similar way to the snippet Sprezz offered.
