Format (Monadic) R←⎕FMT Y

Y may be any array. R is a simple character matrix which appears the same as the default display of Y. If Y contains control characters from ⎕TC, they will be resolved.

⎕PP is an implicit argument of ⎕FMT.

Examples

      A←⎕FMT '∩' ,⎕TC[1],'∘'

      ⍴A
1 1
      A

      A←⎕VR 'FOO'

      A
     ∇ R←FOO
[1]    R←10
     ∇

      ⍴A
31
      B←⎕FMT A

      B
     ∇ R←FOO
[1]    R←10
     ∇

      ⍴B
