Stop Pry from putting each value of a returned array on a new line?

Question

I watched the RubyConf 2013 talk on Pry and I have decided I ought to give it a good try.

I am working with some large arrays. It would be easier to work with my code if Pry would display returned arrays the way IRB does. What seems odd is that pry will not add newlines if the number of chars in the displayed array is small but it will add them when the number of chars in the displayed array surpasses some threshold (appears to be 26 chars in my case). Does anybody know how to make Pry stop doing this?

IRB:

main 001(0) > a = [] #=> []
main 002(0) > (1..100).each{|i| a << i} #=> 1..100
main 003(0) > a
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100]

Pry:

[1] pry(main)> a = []
=> []
[2] pry(main)> (1..26).each{ a << 1 }
=> 1..26
[3] pry(main)> a
=> [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
[4] pry(main)> a << 1
=> [1,

Answer 1

Edit your .pryrc file to include

Pry.config.print = proc { |output, value| output.puts "=> #{value.inspect}" }

Answer 2

To get pry to print inline like robertjlooby's answer, but retain the pretty-printing:

# in your .pryrc
Pry.config.print = lambda do |output, value, _pry_|
    _pry_.pager.open do |pager|
    pager.print _pry_.config.output_prefix
    Pry::ColorPrinter.pp(value, pager, 9e99)
  end
end
