Nonprinting characters in string

[DAemon]

This seems like a really silly question, but if I have a string like "abc\000def", how do I print it in such a way that it shows "abc\000def"?

I've tried playing around with prn and *print-readably*, but that doesn't seem to do what I want.

Thanks!

Clojure doesn't seem to explicitly escape non-printable characters in String literals when you try to print them.
You could always do it yourself with something like:

(require 'clojure.string)

(defn escape-nonprintable [s]
  (clojure.string/join
     (map (fn [c] (if (Character/isISOControl c)
                   (str "\\" (format "%03o" (int c))) c))
                   s)))

Ah, thanks. It just seemed like there should be something that did this!
