Assign console.log value to a variable

Question

How can I assign a JavaScript object to a variable which was printed using console.log?

I am in Chrome console. With Ruby I would use test = _

Answer 1

If you want to do this to an object that has been already logged (one time thing), chrome console offers a good solution.

Hover over the printed object in the console, right click, then click on "Store as Global Variable". Chrome will assign it to a temporary var name for you which you can use in the console.
