st: Formatting local variables

["Ashim Kapoor" <ashimkapoor@gmail.com>]

Hello everyone,

I have small query. Do the formats for printing to screen  / writing
to a file apply to local variables as well ? I don't think so as my
experience tells me otherwise.

Is there a way of formatting the ouput of a local variable? any suggestions ?

Thank you,
Ashim.
