Adrian,

Since strings are immutable, I used a StringBuffer object which allows
modification to the string.  Below I listed my version of  the sprintf
written java (which is not elagant or optimal).  It appears to me that java
is not very flexible in terms maniuplating strings types.  Also here is a
link to the java API for class StringBuffer.

Take It Easy,

public class StringInsert{
 public static void main(String[] argc) {
  String sGreeting = "Hello %s how are you?";
  String sName = "Adrian";

  sGreeting = sprintf(sGreeting, sName);
   System.out.println(sGreeting);
 }

 static public String sprintf(String sDest, String sIns) {
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(sDest);
     int i=0;
     sb.replace(i = sDest.indexOf("%s"), i+2, sIns);
     return(sDest = new String(sb));
  }
}
