Pretty printing a module

Pardon the cross-post; I thought I'd ask here as well, in case the mailing list wasn't the right place.



For a course project I’m working on carrying out an empirical
study where I need to parse a series of Alloy files, make some
changes to each module, and save each in a new file.



ExampleUsingTheCompiler.java was very helpful in showing how to
parse Alloy files (using CompUtil.parseEverything_fromFile), but
I couldn't find any information on how to serialize/pretty-print
the Module/CompModule back into a string that I could then write
to a file.



Thanks in advance for the help.

  • I don't think any pretty print methods are at disposal. At least there seemed to were none at the time I was fiddling with the API. If you are interested in pretty printing, you might have to implement your own methods relying on the methods defined in the CompModule class to explore the object to be printed. gl & hf :-)
