how to read back the lines printed out to the console?

Show all headers | View raw

Hi:

We have an existing Java program, which prints out a lot of message
using System.out.println() method to the console. There are about 500
those calls in the code. We hope to add one more feature: besides
print out to the console as it is doing now, we also want to store
those messages in a text file. So the message will be in two places:
one place -- the console -- is shown the message progressively as the
program is running; another place -- a text file -- is created at the
end of the program.

Since there are about 500 calls in the code, we don't want to add a
duplicated printing method at every printing place. I am thinking to
let the program run as usal, printing out all the messages to the
console, then before the program ends, having a method reading in
every line on the console, which was printed out previously. I just
don't know how to achieve that.

Thank you very much.
