[Jason-users] .term2string does not preserve single quotes in atoms such as '$%12'

[Stephen C. <ste...@ot...>]

Is it possible to convert "special" atoms such as '$%12' into strings that include the single quotation marks? .term2string does not include the quotation marks, and .print does not include them either. I tested this with Jason 2.6.1. For example:

!start.
+!start <-
    .term2string(foo('$%12'), S);
    .print(S);
    .length(S, Len);
    .print("Length: ", Len).

Output:
foo($%12)
Length: 9

If the quotation marks aren't included in the string, then it is not possible to parse the strings again to convert them back to Jason atoms.
