Pipe console output to application

Hello all
Does anyone know of a quick and simple way of piping the console output to, say, a JTextArea in my application? I have imported a 3rd-party library into my app which, when DEBUG=true, outputs to the console via (I suppose) System.out.println(). I want to intercept that stream and output that directly in my app.
Ideas?
Thanks in advance

You can use System.setOut (and System.setErr or System.setIn) to choose different default standard input/output/error streams.
So assuming this app is using System.out, you could just remap that to something that prints to a JTextArea.

Do you mean you have use process class to start "cmd prompt" And want to display some output in it?
If so, there is no need to use RedirectStandardOutput property. This property means the output of an application is written to the
Process.StandardOutput stream.
// Setup the process with the ProcessStartInfo class.
ProcessStartInfo start = new ProcessStartInfo();
start.FileName = @"C:\7za.exe"; // Specify exe name not cmd exe.
start.UseShellExecute = false;
start.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
// Start the process.
using (Process process = Process.Start(start))
// Read in all the text from the process with the StreamReader.
using (StreamReader reader = process.StandardOutput)
string result = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.Write(result);
Output
This section shows the output of the process.
7-Zip (A) 4.60 beta Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Igor Pavlov 2008-08-19
Usage: 7za <command> [<switches>...] <archive_name> [<file_names>...]
[<@listfiles...>]
So you can start a cmd exe.

Hi Petes,
Thanks for you response. I am very new to java. I just started learning jsp and have bit knowledge of swing. I am confused how to use jsp and swing componenets together. Can you please guide me a bit?
Also i am using AJAX to update form field. I am able to work with the rest except bringing the console output in the text area.
Do you think i have some other way to do it?
Do you think, it is a good idea , if I will save the output strings in a file and with the help of jsp i can read the file in textarea.

Server console output

Hi,
I have been using flex from last six month. I have develped one application and now its time to deploy the application. But, I am facing one issue regarding server console output. In my application I have various remote call to java class deployed on JBOSS server. My problem is that, whenever I made any remote call the information of that remote call gets printed on server console. I want to stop this server console printing. How can I do this? Please suggest. I have checked in my code, there is no trace() or system.out.println() command is used. Please help me out of this. Its very urgent.
Thanks.

Ravindar Kumar

Hi
You can setup properties so that we can save stdout and stderr to files.
In the setDomainEnv.cmd file of your domain, you can set the properties so that the ouput will be saved to a file
%WLS_STDOUT_LOG%

at the moment there are so many messages it is hard for me to locate my trace statements. blessings..

Jarred swing app and getting console output

Hi,
I've created a jar app using eclipse that starts a swing application. The jar works fine, but I was curious if there was a way to double-click the file and get console output as well. When I start the program through the command line, I can get my output, but double-clicking the icon doesnt' start up a console. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks

Normally in Windows systems the javaw executable is assigned to the jar extension. javaw is a jvm without console. You might want to change that and assign java to jar but be aware, that this affects all jar files.
If you want to do that just for that jat file I would write a bat file which starts the application using java.

How to print console output

Hi, I have a JSP page and I would like to print STDOUT to the page. Is this possible?
I've seen a few methods and none work for me:
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(System.out);
String input = reader.readLine();
out.println(input);*** Error: Type BufferedReader was not found.
FileOutputStream out;
 PrintStream ps; // declare a print stream object
 try {
 // Create a new file output stream
 out = new FileOutputStream("myfile.txt");
 // Connect print stream to the output stream
 ps = new PrintStream(out);
 ps.println ("This data is written to a file:");
 System.err.println ("Write successfully");
 ps.close();
 catch (Exception e){
 System.err.println ("Error in writing to file");
 }*** Error: Duplicate declaration of local variable "out".
*** Error: The type of the left-hand side in this assignment, "javax/servlet/jsp/JspWriter", is not compatible with the type of the right-hand side expression, "java/io/FileOutputStream".
*** Error: No match was found for constructor "PrintStream(javax.servlet.jsp.JspWriter)".
So what's next?
How can I call the console without writing to a file first?
I would like AJAX to show console output in real-time.

Thanks for your help.
The reason I have the script to write to a file is because it's the closest I could find to what I want. Ideally, I would be able to run a script that prints to the console but I want to grab the system.out going to the console and display it on the page.
Basically, I want the page to act as a console but not redirect the output (I want it to still go to the console) and I don't want it in a text file that the page reads.
So for example, the page loads and while that is occurring, the server grabs the console output and prints to the page. Then I run a function on the page that prints to the console and on the refresh, print the updated output. Ideally, I would restrict the output that was relevant to the page's functions and ignore every output to the console but I'm not (trying to be) picky.
So how would that work?
Pseudo-code:
for (int i=0;i < System.out().length(); i++) {
 String grabbedtext += System.out().toString();
}out.println(grabbedtext);

Create console output from LabView

Hi all.
Is there any way of creating a console string output when calling a dll from LabView?
I have to call a C++ program from LabView and I'm using a dll. I need to debug this program, and I think that using "cout" is the fastest and simplest way.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Francisco

No, there is no console output when calling a DLL. You could have your DLL simply write debug information to a log file.

Flash CS6 does not not create an .app file when I Output as application with runtime embedded

I am attempting to create an application with runtime embedded, but the process keeps failing without throwing an error. Specifically: in Air Settings, I select Output as: Application with runtime embedded. When I build it this way, Flash tells me that it's created Telepath Tactics - Steam.app...
...but no .app file ever actually appears in the folder:
This happens regardless of what I include in the Library Path, and regardless of the Default Linkage settings. (When I tell it to Output as: Windows installer, by contrast, the appropriate exe file appears without a problem.)
I'm using Flash Professional CS6 v. 12.0.0.481 on Windows 7, 64-bit.

I should note that this only occurs on certain windows machines. I am still waiting to hear which ones.
I personally do not experience this so I have to rely on Client feedback.
On my machine it works fine without Flash installed.

Change console output device?

Hi all,
I have a laptop that I sometimes connect to a larger monitor. I would like to be able to change my console output device so that I can connect to my larger monitor on the fly and have my console output switch over-- basically I'm looking for xrandr for the console (xrandr does the job just fine in X11).
If I initially boot up with my laptop screen closed and my monitor connected, the console output goes to my monitor as desired. But I would like to be able to switch output devices on the fly, rather than having to reboot to switch console output between my monitor and laptop screen. Thanks for any help

just found your post...
I ask the same here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=68589 without an answer yet, maybe you want to suscribe to mine as i do here in yours

Slow console output in new JDEVELOPER

Hi,
I have really trivial problem with new versions of JDEVELOPER (e.g. 9.0.3.1035 or
9.0.3.1 built 1107) - slow console output.
This OutputTest.java runs approx. 30 seconds !!
There is no such a problem with e.g. JDEVELOPER 9.0.3.988 Preview. It takes only 0.2 second.
Is there any workaround ? Can you help me to solve the problem?
Thanks,
Fero
public class OutputTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
System.out.println("Very slow output" + i);

This issue has been fixed for a later release. I don't know of any work around for you, except not writing so much to System.out and System.err.
