how to avoid any_to_string truncation?
f#

How does one keep any_to_string from truncating long arrays?

Illustration: (they're all truncated)

> stts;;

val it : seq<float * float * float * float>

> stts |> Seq.length;;

val it : int = 1948

> stts |> any_to_string |> Seq.length;;

val it : int = 206

> stts |> Seq.to_list |> any_to_string |> Seq.length;;

val it : int = 4778

> stts |> Seq.to_array |> any_to_string |> Seq.length;;

val it : int = 4879

(oh, and is anyone working on something hoogle-like for F#? ([link:haskell.org]

edit: is there a guide on guiding this forum's bbcode/escaping rules..?

.

I don't see any way do this with the built-in functions. You can just create a special function like so:

open System.Text

let big_list_to_string x =
    let rec big_list_to_string x (sb:StringBuilder) =
        match x with 
        | [] -> 
            sb.Append("]") |> ignore
            sb.ToString()
        | hd::[] -> 
            sb.Append(hd.ToString() + "]") |> ignore
            sb.ToString()
        | hd::tl -> 
            sb.Append(hd.ToString() + "; ") |> ignore
            big_list_to_string tl sb
    big_list_to_string x (new StringBuilder("["))
