You can prevent arrays (or other large data structures) from getting cut
off by calling .asCompileString -> myArray.asCompileString.postln;
should post the whole array.

I've written a GUI class for which I can save presets to disk by writing
data to an archive (see the Archive class). In my class I've used
myOject.writeTextArchive which isn't an Archive method (but creates an
Archive, I think).
If you like, have a look at my class:

... maybe that gives you an idea.
