Hi,
As far as I know, it's not possible (at least, it's not possible in Caml). I recommend you to use a list (or array) instead. You'll get exactly the same behaviour (not the same syntax, but it's as short). The printf function is a bit special, since the number of arguments depends on the string format. This is checked by the compiler, but you can't declare other functions like this one.

Hi Laurent
You'll get exactly the same behaviour (not the same syntax, but it's as short)
This is indeed a shame, I am working on a project where the layout of the syntax most critical and it could really benefit from this feature. I shall have to look in to using some sort of recursive functional datatype instead, but it would have been simple the other way! :(

Hi All,
A little bit of a curly question this time. Once again, in the C/C++ domain, one can specify a function that takes an arbitrary number of arguments. Now, given that f# uses the printf function with an arbitrary number of arguments, it has got to be possible. But ... as usual, I cannot figure out how? I have looked into pintf.fs of the f sharp library, but this has been little use to me... as I have ended up going around in circles! So my question is, how can it be done?
Thanks
Matt
