Redirect std out to file

Nash · 2004-05-26T13:30:25

Hello, I''m trying to redirect standard out to a file. Here is the situation. I''m using visual C++. I have an existing app which has many print f statemnts. I want the app to now write out a file of all these print statements. I could call CreateFile and then call WriteFile. However, I would need to replace all my print statements with these WriteFile calls. Is there an easier way? Could I use SetStdHandle? Or maybe connect to pipe created by another app. This other app (the pipe server) would do the actual writing file. Any ideas??

I need to see the output in real time. So an edit control is really useful...

iliak,
As Jingo stated, you need to write a stream buffer class that will re-direct the output to your edit control. There really is no simple "make a function call and there you go" way of doing it. I suggest reading up on the streambuf class (MSDN) and buying some advil.
