How to format for copy and paste in Octave

My question is since Octave sometimes outputs in symbolic like

    s     a
   --- - ---
    4     4

I just want it to show like

s/4-a/4

so I can copy and paste it for other scripts. I am sure this is simple but could not find anywhere both in documentation and site. Thank you very much for your help
