I have a problem here.
I have a data
variable of type an OrderedCollection
.
this variable shows me this when I do a DoIt: an OrderedCollection ('3c7lwmdva2b8jbt39ls4pz3sl' '3c7lwmbf36tamw1m45riirdze' 8 February 1994)
.
Now I would like this:
object:=String streamContents:
[:stream|
stream
nextPutAll: 'data:= ';cr;
print:data asArray.]
But when I run, it shows me this:
data := an Array End of statement list encounteencountered -> ('3c7lwmdva2b8jbt39ls4pz3sl' '3c7lwmbf36tamw1m45riirdze' 8 February 1994).
So month I wanted to get this:
data := #('3c7lwmdva2b8jbt39ls4pz3sl' '3c7lwmbf36tamw1m45riirdze' 8 February 1994).
How to do please?
result := String streamContents: [:stream |
stream nextPutAll: 'data := #('.
data
do: [:string | stream nextPut: $'; nextPutAll: string asString; nextPut: $']
separatedBy: [stream space].
stream nextPut: $)]
Since my answer has been downvoted, I'll explain the solution.
data
? The question says that data
prints as (original formatting, sorry about that)an OrderedCollection ('3c7lwmdva2b8jbt39ls4pz3sl' '3c7lwmbf36tamw1m45riirdze' 8 February 1994).
which indicates that data
is an OrderedCollection
with two strings and a Date
.
What is the OP trying to compute? It is not clear. The use of String streamContents:
seems to indicate that the OP is trying to produce a String
, more precisely an assignment sentence where data
is assigned the OrderedCollection
converted to an Array
.
Solution to 2. Assuming my guess in 2 is right, my code above produces such a sentence.
What other interpretation can we give to this unclear question?
Well, may be the OP is just looking for a method that would convert the OrderedCollection
into an Array
. In this case, the answer would have been simply
object := data asArray.
However, given a previous post, where the same OP was trying to do some metaprogramming, the actual intention remains unclear.
