<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">To expand on my response a little… Unless it is reimplemented, #printString ultimately sends #printOn: to the object. This is the reason the quotes end up around strings in Workspaces when you “print It” on
a string object. So by calling printString and printing the result, you are asking it to printOn: twice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Yes, printString answers the string enclosed in single quotes and it even doubles up any single quotes inside the string. This is especially useful when building database queries to prevent sql injection attacks.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Hi, </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Is it the expected behavior to have quoted included when asking printString to a String ?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt">'Toto' printString </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt">=> '''Toto''' .</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Using #asString solves this issue but not exactly the same semantic</span><o:p></o:p></p>
