Where do you want to print it like this? In a graph, of to a text file/
terminal?

The easiest bet are the strsplit, and string functions:

dum = string(format='(e)', 100)
parts = strsplit(dum, 'e', /extract)
out = strcompress(string(format='(f,"x10^",i)', parts[0], parts[1]))

You may want to investigate textoidl if you want those numbers to
appear in graphical output.
