[Axiom-developer] capturing output strings

[daly]

ok, so who needs to pack? :-)

Axiom's algebra gets output to a stream called |$algebraOutputStream|
Thus you can get the output you want by:

)set message autoload off
)lisp (progn
        (setq tmpout (make-string-output-stream))
        (setq save |$algebraOutputStream|)
        (setq |$algebraOutputStream| tmpout)
        (|parseAndInterpret| "(x+1)^9")
        (setq result (get-output-stream-string |$algebraOutputStream|))
        (setq |$algebraOutputStream| save)
        result)

)lisp result

result contains the output from axiom that you want.
