Re-directing text output to a text window other than the CIW

johancsi

I would like to open up a text window, and re-direct text output to that window.  The only thing that I can seem to find is to re-direct text output to a file by opening up a port. I have successfully created and displayed a new text window, but anything I try when printing text, always goes to the CIW.  Below is the code that I am using to create and display the new text window.

twID=hiCreateWindow('default "text" "my app")
hiDisplayWindow(twID)
print("Cell checked with no errors or warnings!!!\n")

Thanks for any help

    Tracy,

    Why wouldn't you use:

    port=outfile("./myout.txt")
    fprintf(port "Cell checked with no errors or warnings!\n")
    ...

    rather than printf? If you want the option to print to the CIW, you could always do port=stdout or port=poport and continue to use fprintf.

    It is possible to alter the poport variable to another file, but that has to be done with caution. Or you could use hiStartLog() and hiEndLog() to temporarily create a duplicate copy of part of the CDS.log to another file.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
