How to convert a unescaped string to NSString in lldb?

Suppose I have a 

" aaaaa
  vnnvnvnvnv
  bbbbc
"

How can I convert it to a NSString and use it in next expression, normally I need to escape it use a tool first.

I found the return char always break interpreter parse expression.

Solution

  • You can do multi-line expressions in lldb by typing just expression. Then you'd type it just like you would type it in a source file. e.g.

    (lldb) expression
Enter expressions, then terminate with an empty line to evaluate:
1 NSString *test = @"\
2 hi\
3 there\
4 ";
5 NSLog (@"%@", test);
