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

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for the response.  I was asking about sending text to a pop up text window, not a file, and I don't want it to go to the CIW.  Right now, anything I print with print, println and printf, goes to the CIW.  Isn't there a way to direct text output to a window ID or something like that?  I can create a text window as I have shown in my example.  There must be some way to actually send text to it.  All I want is to pop up a window, and print a bunch of progress and status while a particular procedure is executing.  The user would then be able to close the window once they look at what was printed in it.

    Thanks
