Dear all, I was trying to turn an SExpression into a (compact) String. My final goal is to try to avoid "unparse$InputForm" in the sage interface.
In particular, I would prefer a solution which does not contain any unnecessary whitespace. I know of FORMAT('NIL, "~S", (-1/2)::INFORM)$Lisp but this has some undesirable side effects with the rootOf operator, which I do not understand: r := integrate(72000/(1+x^5),x)::INFORM FORMAT('NIL, "~S", r)$Lisp (5) "(/ (+ (* (+ (^ (+ (+ (* -3 (^ #1=(|rootOf| (+ (+ (+ (^ #2=(|rootOf| (+ (+ (+ (+ (^ %%E0 4) (* 14400 ( ^ %%E0 3))) (* 207360000 (^ %%E0 2))) (* 2985984000000 %%E0)) 429981696000000 00) %%E0) 3) ... I also tried brightPrint(r)$Lisp, which yields a very compact display (the result is the empty SExpression, but I guess I could capture the output or somehow modify brightPrint), but it omits whitespace in the top level list: (8) -> brightPrint((-1/2)::INFORM)$Lisp /-12 (8) () Type: SExpression Thanks for any hints!
