How To Get Text From The Console

[anthropamorphic]

Hello, I am making a game and I've set up so that it displays most actions you do in the console almost as a crash log, and my problem is that I want to get the text that is out printed, how would I do that?

I don't think I explained it very well so what I mean is if I System.out.println("hi"); how could I get the text that is in the console like "hi".

Why not just write it to a file?

I could, but I didn't think about that when I was writing it.

Are you writing it to a file now? Or could I give you a different alternative?

System.out.println("hi"); how could I get the text that is in the console like "hi".

Do you want to retrieve the String from the console
or get it while it is going to the console,
or get it as a String instead of it going to the console?

The best option would be to properly implement logging. If you do not need the console for anything else (such as normal user input/output) then the quick and dirty way would be to use System.setOut().
