I want to write a function like `format', which gets a string with some codes embedded (like "%a", "%b" etc., and "%%" to get a percentage sign), and convert them to something (say, "%a" to the value of var-a, "%b" to var-b etc.). Is there any facility in Elisp to help with that
or do I have to do a search-and-replace manually?

See `format-spec' and `format-spec-make'.
