Writing to console and text file

Question

I found the code below from the internet, works but it doesn\'t write the printed console to omt.txt, it only writes the System.out.println statements after the

Answer 1

In System.java, this is the declaration of the out property:

public final static PrintStream out

You'll see that it can only be one PrintSteam object at a time. So it's either the console or the file, but not both.

At this line, you have effectively re-channelled the destination:

System.setOut(ps);

So your output stops displaying on the console.
