Thanks a lot for your help!
In my case, the solution by David Elliott is the most efficient one.
My local storing the information I need is called "numaverageteamsize"
(taken from -tab team-). The code looks like that:
tab team
local numaverageteamsize = r(r)
local numaverageteamsize = "`:word `numaverageteamsize' of one two
three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen
fourteen fifteen'"
The string can then easily be exported to a tex-document using file
open / file write / file close.
