toString method

String toString ()
override

Returns a description of the format exception.

The description always contains the message.

If source is present and is a string, the description will contain (at least a part of) the source. If offset is also provided, the part of the source included will contain that offset, and the offset will be marked.

If the source is a string and it contains a line break before offset, only the line containing offset will be included, and its line number will also be part of the description. Line and character offsets are 1-based.
