_StringFormatEx does the same as StringFormat but with added support for argument swapping. I originally wrote it as a support function for a bigger UDF but it can stand well on its own. Format pattern is: %[placeholder$] [flags] [width] [.precision] type

Have fun with it.

; _StringFormatEx example.

; Lets put this in the right order. n$ denotes a numbered (n) placeholder
; that gets replaced with the n-th argument passed to _StringFormatEx, no
; matter what the order is in the string.
Local $sFormat = '%4$s %7$s %1$s %8$s %2$s %5$s %9$s %3$s %6$s.'

Description:        Does the same as StringFormat but with added support for
                    argument swapping. Format pattern is:
                    %[placeholder$] [flags] [width] [.precision] type
Author:             dany
Parameters:         $sStr       - String: String to format.
                    $v1 - $v32  - Mixed: Replacement values to insert.
Return values:      Success:    - String: Formatted string.
                    Failure:    - 0 and sets @error and @extended.
                                  @extended values:
                                  1:    Invalid argument (not a String).
Remarks:            Do not mix placeholders with non-placeholders e.g.:
                    _StringFormatEx('%s %1$s', 'world', 'hello')
                    It will NOT work.

Calculate the bit entropy of a password. The higher the bit entropy, the harder it is to guess/bruteforce the password.

Hate to say it, but this function is not correct. Right at the start of the function is a test for the number of words in the string (i.e. is it a password or passphrase). If a space is found in the string, then it is assumed that the string consists of a number of Diceware words. This assumption cannot be made. Let the program compare between the password 'Tr0ub4dor&3' and the passphrase 'Tr0ub4dor&3 Tr0ub4dor&3'. It will tell you the latter is the weakest, which it is clearly not. Not every string containing spaces is a list of Diceware words. It should at least be tested if the words are alphanumeric (without special characters). So there are two things to improve: (1) decide if the words are 'plain' words, not containing any ampersands etc., and (2) decide if they are indeed from the limited Diceware word list that contains a mere 7776 words.

You are correct. True Diceware passphrases arn't distinguished from random gibberish containing spaces. Suggested improvement 1 (checking alphanumeric and space) is easily implemented:

However, I'm not going to implement a check if the words are in a Diceware list, as there is no standard list. Besides this function only calculates bit entropy, it doesn't care about the validity of the words that's the job of a login script.

Thanks for the feedback
