This is not as sophisticated as C's printf() of course, but it's enough for many uses.
∇r ← s sInterp sv
⍝⍝ Interpolate items in sv into s (string field substitution)
⍝ s: string - format string, '∆' used for interpolation points
⍝ sv: vector - vector of items to interpolate into s
⍝ r: interpolated string
s[('∆'=s)/⍳⍴s] ← ⊃¨(⍕¨sv)
r ← ∊s
