I need to get the data printed to NinjaTraders output window to a file for processing.
It contains data from a couple of stategies at different timeframes.
Re-directing the data to a file would be ideal as, I can copy the window data in realtime now but,
the file gets lengthy for continuous copying and if I could just append a file,
I could delete lines as they are processed.

Any help for a lower/midlevel programmer would be appreciated.
Thx in advance...

Just use StreamWriter() instead of Print()

Mike

Try:

using System.IO;
.
.
.
File.AppendAllText(filename, textString);

Do you have access to the source code of all strategies or do you want to grab the output text from third party strategies?

Thx 4 the replies guys...
Sorry I didn't follow up sooner but, I just checked my email and saw that there were other replies.
I thought Big Mike's response was probably the the end as I had "Thanked" him.

I have written the strategies myself and needed to pull them together.
I was able to accomplish it using StreamWriter, not without much hair pulling however..
It took alot of permutations to figure out what was needed to ensure that the appropriate files
were open or closed at the proper times and that conflicts involving reading & writing at the same time
was averted.
Finally waded through Dispose(), Flush(), Close() ect. to keep resources used at a minimum.
Also, the "try"{ }, "catch"{ } for error handling was helpful.
Anyway, it is working now and I carry on with a thorough testing..
Thx again for the support guys. This is why, this is the best support site bar none...

Did you look at post #4? If you are just logging information, you just need that one line of code.
