#ByteArray stringify and to-string truncation

Thread channel in help

I'm calling stringify or to-string on a ByteArray, and the output is getting truncated at the end, ie 0xf0, 0x7f, ...]
I moved from stringify to to-string thinking it might solve my issue, as it has a from and to, that defaults to the full size, but it is still truncated.
Is there any "easy" way to print the whole thing?

You need to write your own function. Something like.

buffer := io.Buffer
is-first := true
bytes.do:
  if is-first: is-first = false
  else: buffer.write ", "
  buffer.write "0x$(%02x it)"
result := buffer.to-string

I will add options to the stringify function.

That would be amazing, and thanks for the workaround for now!

for my own personal usecase, I'd love to be able to change the format of stirngify for bytes too, but perhaps that best left to my own code

I usually print out the shortened array and write the full bytearray to a file which lets me reference it later, in case you're open to another idea
