Suppress result output in irb?

Tom Pollard

10/5/2006 5:16:00 AM

Hi,

Is there a way to prevent irb from printing the result of a
expression to the terminal on a command-by-command basis? I'm trying
to use irb and soap4r to play around with a SOAP server and in many
cases the results are fairly long arrays; I'd like to be able to
prevent these from being displayed automatically. IPython, for
example, will suppress the output from a command if it's terminated
with a semicolon (';'). I was hoping for something similar in irb.

Thanks,

Tom

For me, with irb 0.9.5(05/04/13) and ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25)
[i386-cygwin], a trailing semicolon _does_ suppress printing the result.

Thanks for the quick response.

When I try that (with the same version of irb, but ruby 1.8.4), irb
gives me the "waiting for you to finish the command" prompt.

=> 15
>> 7+8;
?>

Are you sure that's not what you're getting, too?

irb(main):002:0> "q"*1000; 0
=> 0

Thanks. (I feel silly for not having thought of that last night.)
It's much better than nothing.

But, is there a good reason why irb itself couldn't suppress the
display of the results when you gave it a command with a trailing
semicolon? I don't see how that would break anything.

What you look at, or will not look at, is of no consequence whatsoever
to me.

Where were the same "shocked and horrified" protesters when Bob Ellis,
ALP member and speech writer for Bob "Do Nothing" Carr said this about
Duck's Bum after her father's death?

"She fled an important conference, and a meeting with Vladimir Putin,
because her father had died at 83, and fled home weeping to Adelaide.

Leaving a battlefield because of a dear one's death is not what she
lets our soldiers do. They must stay, and fight to the battle's end.
Yet she thinks she is different somehow. She is allowed her girly
tears and her time off, playing hookey from her national obligations,
her duty".

And what about this scurrilous tweet from Bowen's wife, Rebecca

Well said!

Tranny's a weirdo.

I am quite aware of that. If you had any considertion for others you would
not flaunt your obsessive interest in paedophilia so freely on usenet.
Personally I find your interest in it to be disgusting.

Yes, you are a technical moron.

Use Internet Explorer, do you?

And that link was about a search for a pedophile, not pedophilia, you
moron.
