In flutter development, how to print long string in visual studio code debug console?

Question

I want to print large string in flutter but they are truncated.

Example, this is 1342 characters string:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad'); // minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Only the top 1022 characters will be printed.

I try to use debugPrint and print functions but nothing.

What I can do?

I need to print them on the console or redirect the output on text file (if possible). — ilBarra

That's due to VS Code truncating big strings, usually bigger than 1000 char of being printed at once. You can try a little "hack" by splitting it into words and print each of it.

myLongString.split(' ').forEach((word) => print(" " + word));

You can also try to use the logging package, but probably it will experience the same problem when trying to print the whole string, since it is trying to stdout all at once.
