C++ function cout redirect to file -

say have simple function named print, loop uses cout print, say, 1-5, console.

is there way can like:

file << print (); 

to output of print saved file? assuming open file ofstream properly, , everything.

assuming print void function output hard-coded cout, there nothing can do: output controlled execution environment's assignment of output stream (console default or file redirect >myoutput.txt).

if program control output goes, pass ostream& print function, , use output:

void print(ostream& ostr) {     // use ostr instead of cout     ostr << "hello, world!" << endl; } 

if want print output console or default output, call

print(cout); 

if want write file, make ofstream, , pass print:

ofstream file("hello.txt"); print(file);
