You can use the format(...) function but its range of formatting
capabilities is not as extensive as Lisp's FORMAT or C's printf. At
ftp://berlin.ccc.de/pub/gd/contributions/ you can find a package
called xformat-0.3 by David Lichteblau that contains an extended
format that supports most of what Lisp's FORMAT can do - including
everything you want above.
