Post by: polisbul on November 26, 2012, 05:59:11 pm

does anyone know how i can save my console application output on a text file? is there any option inside code::blocks?
I'd like an option like

After your program is compiled, find the executable, then pipe it into a file.

So if your executable is called "program", then ./program > output.text

You can easily achieve his: Setup as tool that (using macros) will always start your projects/targets executable. Then configure to pipe the standard out to an internal console. From here, you can easily copy/paste the std::cout as you like.

Note that using similar macros and setting up the tool to run visible, detached you can even do the pipe operation, if you like.

Also note that this command will work for any projects/targets you have, if you use the proper macros.
