To me it looks wrong and it breaks flow. The poor guys working on XML
should just suicide with such
behavior. You can never print anything decently.
I think that the tools are hijacking printString and turn it into
something mega strange and bogus.
I cannot even use plain Pharo code to survive.
copyReplaceAll: '""' byt: '"'

Hi Stef,
Just a clarification.
The mechanism you mention is obtained through Cmd+p, Enter and this
embeds the printout as a comment in the existing editor. This is
particularly useful when you want to keep a trace of multiple executions
in the same editor (typically a Playground). In order to make any string
a valid Pharo comment we use String>>asComment, and this escapes “
(double-quote) inside a comment. Without it, the result would not be a
valid comment and the syntax highlighting would be broken.
For your goal of having the result in the debugger this is obviously not
ideal. This is why we ended up with Cmd+p,Cmd+p, but this is not
available in Pharo 5.
Cheers,
Doru

Why does it make sense to have "" "" inside strings?
So if you paste this as a comment somewhere you don’t have to manually
add double double-quotes.
Did you read my example?
I do not need any double double quotes.
I don’t use the result of print it at all, but I guess there are two
scenarios for it’s usage. One as you described: copy the result and use
it in tests or in some further computation.
But this is exactly what I cannot do with this stupid doubling of
double quotes
(but if you use TDD test are already written ;P).
well...
Another one is to copy the result and paste it somewhere as a comment
in your code, to access it easily afterwards. If you have a double
quote in your result it will break the comment, so the thing is escaped
automatically.
Probably but here this is inside a string.
I think that this heuristic is totally bogus.

I'm hacking in an old Pharo 50 image and it was terrible because
printit even a copyReplaceAll: '""' byt: '"'
did not work.
I do not understand what is the scenario to double quote comment
character "
I understand single quotes but not double quotes.

Try doing Ctrl+P twice. It will not comment the printed string.

about quoting ;(
Hi
I have a string
'<li>
<span class="author">Stéphane Ducasse and Damien Pollet</span>,
<span class="title">Fingerprints</span>, <span class="journal">Journal
of Information System</span>, <span class="year">2010</span>.
</li>
'
and when I do printIt in the debugger I get the following
"'<li>
<span class=""author"">Stéphane Ducasse and Damien
Pollet</span>, <span class=""title"">Fingerprints</span>, <span
class=""journal"">Journal of Information System</span>, <span
class=""year"">2010</span>.
</li>
'"
I do not get why we doublequote the character "
inside string.
It means that I have to remove all the " inside to string to be able
to express tests.
