The output contains white spaces for each line of code

hello, basically as the title says, the output contains blank spaces for each line of code even with semicolons:

Scilab kernel v0.9.10

Hi @ezalorpro, this is a known issue but I'm not sure how to solve it.

@blink1073 Well in that case , i took a look to the code of the kernel, and since i dont know anything about it, i took the naive approach of pre process the execute code and clean it from '\n' and comments lines. I dont think thist approach is robust enought in the long term, more testing is requiered, but so far it is not bad. Maybe making use of regular expression whould be a beter choice, but i dont know literaly nothing about regex so . . .

def do_execute_direct(self, code, silent=False):
        
        # Extra code for better output
        temp = ''
        code = code.lstrip().rstrip('\n')
        NumLines = code.count('\n')

        for i, line in enumerate(code.split('\n')):
            line = line.lstrip().rstrip().split('//')
            if line[0] is not '':
                if line[0].rstrip()[-1] is not ';' and i != NumLines:
                    temp += line[0].lstrip().rstrip() + '\n'
                elif line[0].rstrip()[-1] is ';' or i == NumLines:
                    temp += line[0].lstrip().rstrip()

        code = temp
        .
        .
        .

cheers.

the extra white lines could be suppressed by setting the display mode to 0, means you could add mode(0) at the beginning of the worksheet.

thanks.

@ezalorpro: Works fine. Thanks for sharing.

Except if you have an URL in mprintf() or disp() commands. The "//" makes trouble. But not a big deal.
