How to p to a string

[Carl Youngblood]

Is there a way that I can cause p to store the output that it would have
sent to STDOUT into a string instead?

Thanks,

Hi,
what about:

irb(main):001:0> p Range.new(1,2)
1..2
nil
irb(main):002:0> puts Range.new(1,2).inspect
1..2
nil

?

Best regards,
M.

Doesn't #inspect do what you want?

I think you're right! I'm still in the process of learning Ruby. Here
a little and there little... Thanks.
