Can you escape a % in string that will used for substitution

Is there a way to do:

s = "I like python %i%s of the time."
print s % (99, "%")

without having to pass in "%"?

Thanks,
Gerard

Just double-up the % sign, e.g. "I like python %i%% of the time."

Hi, 'C' says \ is the escape character to be used when characters are to be interpreted in an uncommon sense, e.g. \t usage in printf(), but for printing % through printf(), i have read that %% should be used. Wouldn't it have been better (from design perspective) if the same escape character had been used in this case too. Forgive me for posting without verfying things with any standard compiler, i don't have the means for now.

HI: I'm reading a string that will be displayed in a MessageBox from a resource file.

When this string is read using a ResourceManager GetString method the string is returned @-quoted, i.e as if I entered the literal @"This is line1\n\nThis is line 2", causing the escape sequences not to be...

I am building a string from a combination of hardcoded string literals and user input (via textbox). I know about using @"c:\temp\filename.txt" to ignore escape sequences.

But, when I concatenate it with other string literals or variables using...
