[GAP Forum] Large outputs in GAP

[Russ Woodroofe]

Dear Muniru,
If you just want to put out one object without the end-of-line characters, you can do e.g.
PrintFormattedString(String(170^169));

If you want to turn off the \ and line-breaks altogether, you can try
SetPrintFormattingStatus("*stdout*", false);

(And the same with false replaced by true to turn it back on.)
Best,

  --Russ
