Wow! Thanks a lot for that example. Works like a charm.

I searched for some time for an example and ended up, writing my own 
viewhelper, that accepts a single field as argument, since i only needed 
one placeholder.

You're right, vsprintf does not worke like that out of-the-box. I did 
not try that wrapper function dsprintf, but the shown example was imho 
very intuitive.

I think i can live with the current situation for my project, so thanks 
again for showing.

After writing these lines, i remembered the CycleViewHelper, where an 
example array was built just like that in the comments...
