How to determine the output of a console application ?

2007/09/20 08:33 in Borland Delphi

When you write a console mode application (no GUI), the output by default goes to the screen, but this can be overridden by the process starting the app (see: How to capture the output from a console mode application).

Use the code below to find where the output is going:

program SampleConsoleApp;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
   SysUtils, Windows, Dialogs;
var
   hStdOut: THandle;
begin
   writeln('Some output') ;
   hStdOut :=GetStdHandle STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE) ;
   if hStdOut = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE then RaiseLastOsError;

   caseGetFileType(hStdOut) of
  FILE_TYPE_UNKNOWN:
   ShowMessage('Unknown output ') ;
  FILE_TYPE_DISK:
   ShowMessage('Output to a File') ;
  FILE_TYPE_CHAR:
   ShowMessage('Console output') ;
  FILE_TYPE_PIPE:
   ShowMessage('Pipe output') ;
   end;
end.

{
When this app is run "normally"
it will display a 'Console output' message.
}
