Is it perhaps that you have missed that io_lib:format returns an
iolist() and not a flat string() ?

You can compose your own iolist_to_list from erlang:iolist_to_binary
with erlang:binary_to_list.  The slightly different lists:flatten
works too, for this case.

Since you didnt explain how things failed, you leave me/us having to guess.
