Thread: printing output to console & to a text file at the same time...

I don't know if you can. What you can do is print out first to the screen and then print that to the file (or reverse order, it doesn't matter).

Yeah it's easy to do one at a time. Although this code prints to the console first, the file is written a fraction of a second later:

import java.io.*;
 
public class Prasanna {
 
    /**
     * JavaProgrammingForums.com
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
 
        // Print to console
        System.out.println("JavaProgrammingForums.com");
 
        // Print to file
        Writer output = null;
        File file = new File("myFile.txt");
        output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
        output.write("JavaProgrammingForums.com");
        output.close();
        System.out.println("File written");   
 
    }
 
}
