using print statement to print to memory or a variable? [message #81112]

Pardon me if this is general knowledge, but I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to use a print statement to print to a plot, so to speak.

The basic idea is this. I have some complicated code which eventually contains a line:

printf,lun,"some format here", var1,var2,var3

which prints to the screen or a file.

As I recall, in fortran it's possible to print to memory (or print to a variable), and then to read that string from memory, which I could then send to a plot. For obnoxious reasons, I'd rather do this than rewrite the code to actually generate a character string...

Thanks,

Mark
