How to handle certain output from eval_string
so it’s these two simple lines:
https://hastebin.com/bonopujawa.exs
The first one executes, the second prints to stdout. the output is a and ok.
How can I print a only ?
How can I print ok only ?
In other words, how can I access them separately ?

It does not. Do it in iex and you will see what is happening.
iex(1)> {result, _} = Code.eval_string("IO.puts('a')")
a
{:ok, []}
iex(2)> IO.puts result
ok
:ok
The {:ok, []} from the first function call is the return value of calling Code.eval_string/3. In this case, you are binding the result variable to the atom :ok.
In the second line, you are printing out the atom :ok, which gets printed as ok. And then we see :ok as the return value of the IO.puts/2 call.
