Console.SetOut(TextWriter) Method

Definition

Sets the Out property to target the TextWriter object.

public:
 static void SetOut(System::IO::TextWriter ^ newOut);
public static void SetOut (System.IO.TextWriter newOut);
static member SetOut : System.IO.TextWriter -> unit
Public Shared Sub SetOut (newOut As TextWriter)

Parameters

newOut
TextWriter

A text writer to be used as the new standard output.

Exceptions

newOut is null.

The caller does not have the required permission.

Examples

The following example illustrates the use of the SetOut method. It replaces four consecutive space characters in a string with a tab character. To run it, you must supply two command line arguments. The first is the name of an existing text file to redirect the standard input stream to. The second is the name of a file to redirect the standard output stream to. This file need not exist. If it does, its contents will be overwritten.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;

int main()
{
   array<String^>^args = Environment::GetCommandLineArgs();
   const int tabSize = 4;
   String^ usageText = "Usage: INSERTTABS inputfile.txt outputfile.txt";
   StreamWriter^ writer = nullptr;
   if ( args->Length < 3 )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( usageText );
      return 1;
   }

   try
   {
      // Attempt to open output file.
      writer = gcnew StreamWriter( args[ 2 ] );
      // Redirect standard output from the console to the output file.
      Console::SetOut( writer );
      // Redirect standard input from the console to the input file.
      Console::SetIn( gcnew StreamReader( args[ 1 ] ) );
   }
   catch ( IOException^ e ) 
   {
      TextWriter^ errorWriter = Console::Error;
      errorWriter->WriteLine( e->Message );
      errorWriter->WriteLine( usageText );
      return 1;
   }

   String^ line;
   while ( (line = Console::ReadLine()) != nullptr )
   {
      String^ newLine = line->Replace( ((String^)"")->PadRight( tabSize, ' ' ), "\t" );
      Console::WriteLine( newLine );
   }

   // completion message can be displayed.

Remarks

By default, the Out property is set to the standard output stream.

A StreamWriter that encapsulates a FileStream can be used to send output to a file. For example:

Console::WriteLine("Hello World");
FileStream^ fs = gcnew FileStream("Test.txt", FileMode::Create);
// First, save the standard output.
TextWriter^ tmp = Console::Out;
StreamWriter^ sw = gcnew StreamWriter(fs);
Console::SetOut(sw);
Console::WriteLine("Hello file");
Console::SetOut(tmp);
Console::WriteLine("Hello World");
sw->Close();
Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
FileStream fs = new FileStream("Test.txt", FileMode.Create);
// First, save the standard output.
TextWriter tmp = Console.Out;
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs);
Console.SetOut(sw);
Console.WriteLine("Hello file");
Console.SetOut(tmp);
Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
sw.Close();
Console.WriteLine "Hello World"
use fs = new FileStream("Test.txt", FileMode.Create)
// First, save the standard output.
let tmp = Console.Out
use sw = new StreamWriter(fs)
Console.SetOut sw
Console.WriteLine "Hello file"
Console.SetOut tmp
Console.WriteLine "Hello World"
Console.WriteLine("Hello World")
Dim fs As New FileStream("Test.txt", FileMode.Create)
' First, save the standard output.
Dim tmp as TextWriter = Console.Out
Dim sw As New StreamWriter(fs)
Console.SetOut(sw)
Console.WriteLine("Hello file")
Console.SetOut(tmp)
Console.WriteLine("Hello World")
sw.Close()

The actual object returned by Out may be a synchronized wrapper around the provided text writer.
