Hello. I'm a student from Spain and I have a question.

Is made in erlang any function to convert a term to a string representation?

The term can be a tuple, a tuple of lists, a list of tuples of strings or atoms ...

I have tried to make it using the module io_lib, but I have problems like this:

1> String=io_lib:fwrite("~p",[{atom1,[{1,2,[atom_2,"string"]}]}]).
[[123,
  ["atom1",
   44,
   [91,[[123,["1",44,"2",44,[91,["atom_2",44,"\"string\""],93]],125]],93]],
  125]]
2> String.
[[123,
  ["atom1",
   44,
   [91,[[123,["1",44,"2",44,[91,["atom_2",44,"\"string\""],93]],125]],93]],
  125]]

In this case, I want to obtain "{atom1,[{1,2,[atom_2,"string"]}]}"

Will I have to make the function or Does it exist already?

Thank you in advance and excuse my English.
