I would not use #storeOn: directly, I would consider the fact that String>>#printOn: uses it an implementation detail, and a confusing one at that.

The idea that is that I would like to be able to 

text -> tokens -> text

For text -> tokens 

(RBScanner on: 'self classVariables: { #A . #B }' readStream)
contents collect: #value


I wrote a little method that takes the result of the RBScanner and recreate the text
But I cannot get this method to work. 
I���m puzzled because the symbols are eaten.


expressionStringFrom: aLine

"self new 
expressionStringFrom:  #('self' 'classVariables:' ${ #A $. #B $}) 
>>> 
'self classVariables: { A . B }'
"
^ String streamContents: [ :s |
aLine 
do: [ :each | s << each ]
separatedBy: [ s space ]]

I tried with print:, printOn:, but I failed. 

Any idea?

With Symbols one needs to use storeOn:
