I have an object with a message that gets a stream and print into it.
My problem is testing that I am printing the right string.
I could do it with output redirection and a testing script, but I would rather do it using the assert of the TestCase class, if that is possible.
Thanks for any help :)

I have a calss A, and in it a message called (printOn:) that is printing a string describing the A object into a given stream. – Mugen Apr 03 '12 at 21:03

You can create a stream using `WriteStream on: String new` and send `contents` to it for retriving its contents. – Alex Jasmin Apr 03 '12 at 21:33

You can create a stream that writes to an in-memory string with WriteStream on: String new.
Send contents to that stream for retrieving the string contents.
That should help you test your code.
