One really important point: you DO NOT want spaces in UNIX filenames. UNIX is not Windows, spaces in filenames are a problem for inexperienced or experienced shell programmers. Trailing spaces in an actual filename would horrible.

What are you trying to achieve , please tell us, but not how you want to do it.

XPRINTF_EXEC(3) 					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					   XPRINTF_EXEC(3)

NAME
asxprintf_exec, dxprintf_exec, fxprintf_exec, sxprintf_exec, xprintf_exec, vasxprintf_exec, vdxprintf_exec, vfxprintf_exec, vsxprintf_exec, vxprintf_exec -- execute-only extensible printf execution SYNOPSIS
#include <printf.h> int asxprintf_exec(char ** restrict ret, printf_comp_t restrict pc, ...); int dxprintf_exec(int fd, printf_comp_t restrict pc, ...); int fxprintf_exec(FILE * restrict stream, printf_comp_t restrict pc, ...); int sxprintf_exec(char * restrict str, size_t size, printf_comp_t restrict pc, ...); int xprintf_exec(printf_comp_t restrict pc, ...); #include <stdarg.h> int vasxprintf_exec(char ** restrict ret, printf_comp_t restrict pc, va_list ap); int vdxprintf_exec(int fd, printf_comp_t restrict pc, va_list ap); int vfxprintf_exec(FILE * restrict stream, printf_comp_t restrict pc, va_list ap); int vsxprintf_exec(char * restrict str, size_t size, printf_comp_t restrict pc, va_list ap); int vxprintf_exec(printf_comp_t restrict pc, va_list ap); DESCRIPTION
These functions are execute-only, extensible printf (see xprintf(5)) variants, taking a printf_comp_t structure created by the format string compilation routine new_printf_comp(3). All these variants behave like their normal printf counterparts (see printf(3)) without 'x' and ``_exec'' in the name (except sxprintf_exec() and vsxprintf_exec() behave like snprintf() and vsnprintf(), respectively).
