print long string in xcode 6 debugging console

Question

I am getting only 1022 characters of my String to display in the debugging console of Xcode6. The actual length is around 2500 characters.

Is there a way to display all character in the console or do i have to write them in a file.

i have tried print in the console but that displays only 1023 characters.

First i tried with println(sqlstatement), that did not work. Second, as mentioned above, i used print sqlstatement in the debug console itself. Oh and debugger is lldb.

With out the code how you are posting we can not tell what is going on. So post the code where you printing the string. — rckoenes, Jul 14 '15 at 09:12

I found an answer thanks to your comment @nms. The command line for lldb is

setting set target.max-string-summary-length 10000

with 10000 being the number of characters that are printed.

I haven`t found a nicer way to set this setting for lldb, other than typing it every time i debug, than to set a breakpoint in AppDelegate to auto continue and adding the above command to it.

To run it by default, add this command to `~/.lldbinit` file. As explained here https://stackoverflow.com/a/40242547/2505726 – Insaf K Apr 23 '20 at 15:03
