Writing to the real STDOUT after System.setOut

Question

I\'m trying to intercept System.out and System.err, but maintain the ability to write to the original streams directly when necessary.

PrintStream ps = Syste         


        

Answer 1

Try something like this :

  PrintStream original = new PrintStream(System.out);

  // replace the System.out, here I redirect to NUL
  System.setOut(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("NUL:")));
  System.out.println("bar");  // no output

  // the original stream is still available 
  original.println("foo");  // output to stdout
