SetAttributes[dumpVar, {HoldAll, Listable}]

dumpVar[var_] :=
   Print[ToString[Unevaluated[var]], " = ", var];

myVar1 = 1;
myVar2 = 2;

dumpVar[myVar1];

myVar1 = 1

dumpVar[{myVar1, myVar2}];

myVar1 = 1

myVar2 = 2

=============
Hello,

how can I dump out a variable with its value? The following does not
work:

myVar1 = 1;
myVar2 = 2;
DumpVars[list_List] :=
  MapThread[(Print[#1, ": ", #2]) &, {Map[ToString[#] &,
     Unevaluated[list]], list}];

DumpVar[var_] := Print[ToString[Unevaluated[var]], ":", var];


DumpVars[{myVar1, myVar2}]
DumpVar[myVar1]

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Karsten.
