Writing ALL program output to a txt file in C++

Question

I need to write all my program output to a text file. I believe it\'s done this way,

sOutFile << stdout;

where sOutFile is the ofstr

Answer 1

If your program already uses cout/printf and you want to send EVERYTHING you currently output to a file, you could simply redirect stdout to point to a file before your existing calls: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/58667

Relevant Code:

freopen( "file.txt", "w", stdout );
cout << "hello file world\n"; // goes to file.txt
freopen("CON", "w", stdout);
printf("Hello again, console\n"); // redirected back to the console

Alternatively if you just want Some things to be printed to a file, you just want a regular file output stream: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/files.html

Relevant Code:

ofstream myfile;
myfile.open("file.txt");
myfile << "Hello file world.\n";
printf("Hello console.\n");
myfile.close();

EDIT to aggregate answers from John T and Brian Bondy:
Finally, if you're running it from the commandline, you can just redirect the output as everyone else mentioned by using the redirect operator ">" or append ">>":

myProg > stdout.txt 2> stderr.txt
