If you're in IDA and you have a address that you know points to a string

0018FB7C db 6Dh ; m
0018FB7D db 73h ; s
0018FB7E db 63h ; c
0018FB7F db 6Fh ; o
0018FB80 db 72h ; r
0018FB81 db 6Ah ; j
0018FB82 db 69h ; i
0018FB83 db 74h ; t
0018FB84 db 2Eh ; .
0018FB85 db 64h ; d
0018FB86 db 6Ch ; l
0018FB87 db 6Ch ; l
0018FB88 db 0 ; 0

And you want to print out that string go to
File -> Script Command

Choose Python as your scripting language

type in this command and hit run

print(GetString(0x0018FB7C))

which displays in the Output Window
mscorjit.dll

If you're in IDA and you have a register, say EAX pointing to a location

RAX 000000000018FB7C

0018FB7C db 6Dh ; m
0018FB7D db 73h ; s
0018FB7E db 63h ; c
0018FB7F db 6Fh ; o
0018FB80 db 72h ; r
0018FB81 db 6Ah ; j
0018FB82 db 69h ; i
0018FB83 db 74h ; t
0018FB84 db 2Eh ; .
0018FB85 db 64h ; d
0018FB86 db 6Ch ; l
0018FB87 db 6Ch ; l
0018FB88 db 0 ; 0

And you want to print out that string go to
File -> Script Command

Choose Python as your scripting language

type in this command and hit run

print(GetString(GetRegValue("EAX")))

which displays in the Output Window
