Parameterized strings

Parameterized strings allow tool developers to greatly enhance the options available in creating
TDEFs. Parameterized strings contain replacement fields (similar to the format strings used in the
popular printf() function in the standard C library). These fields can be replaced by values entered
by the user at runtime (as defined by the tool parameters attribute), by some standard task properties
supplied by the Task Controller by values related to the selected target systems or system groups,
or by property values retrieved from a global tool properties file.
