QuietEcho[expr]

evaluates expr without letting Echo and related functions inside expr print any result.

Details

Examples

open all close all

Basic Examples  (1)

Evaluate without echoing any output:

Wolfram Language code: QuietEcho[expr1;Echo[x = 1 + 1];expr2]

Evaluate allowing echoing:

Wolfram Language code: expr1;Echo[x = 1 + 1];expr2

Scope  (5)

QuietEcho prevents its argument from echoing any output:

Wolfram Language code: QuietEcho[Echo[x = 1 + 1];Echo[y = 2 + 2]]

Any Echo expressions not wrapped in QuietEcho will still echo output:

Wolfram Language code: Echo[x = 1 + 1];QuietEcho[Echo[y = 2 + 2]]

EchoFunction is disabled inside QuietEcho:

Wolfram Language code: QuietEcho[EchoFunction[Length][DateList[]]]

EchoLabel is disabled inside QuietEcho:

Wolfram Language code: QuietEcho[EchoLabel["factors:"][FactorInteger[2 ^ 100 - 1]]]

EchoTiming is disabled inside QuietEcho:

Wolfram Language code: QuietEcho[EchoTiming[Pause[1]; 2 + 2]]

EchoEvaluation is disabled inside QuietEcho:

Wolfram Language code: QuietEcho[EchoEvaluation[1 + 1]]

Applications  (1)

Set $Pre to QuietEcho to disable Echo in all computations:

Wolfram Language code: $Pre = QuietEcho

Echo timing and related functions will not print any result:

Wolfram Language code: EchoTiming[Echo[FactorInteger[2 ^ 500 - 1]]]

Unset $Pre:

Wolfram Language code: $Pre=.

Properties & Relations  (2)

QuietEcho does not prevent message from being generated:

Wolfram Language code: QuietEcho[1 / 0]

Use Quiet to suppress messages:

Wolfram Language code: Quiet[1 / 0]

Print and CellPrint work inside QuietEcho:

Wolfram Language code: QuietEcho[Echo["a"];Print["b"];CellPrint[Cell["c", "Text"]]]
