Hi Stef,
I think you are saying that having the possibility of embedding the
printout as a comment is useless. But, there were people that wanted
exactly that behavior without breaking the syntax highlighting. Esteban
was one of them, for example.
And now we have Cmd+p,Cmd+p which does exactly what the old Cmd+p did.
I was hacking on citezen in Pharo 50.
Now I have the impression that printIt is bogus. Its semantics is a hack
and it feels like
it each time you get to the limit.
We would have the same bgus behavior if we would have
printAsGraphicsRepresentation.
Now we overuse textual representation and breaks the underlying repl.
Now what I see is that I have to edit by hand long boring stupid XML
because I cannot use printIt to get
a textual representation that is not trying to be too smart and failing on
me.
Look for my remark on asLiteralOn:
Ste
What is missing?

To me it looks wrong and it breaks flow. The poor guys working on XML

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.
stef
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.
