Question by greggman · May 11, 2016 at 08:52 AM · command line terminal

Output to terminal / cli

How I can I output the terminal / CLI when my app is run from the terminal / CLI?

Let's say I want to use Unity to make a command line utility. For example on OSX the user might type

 myUnityTerminalApp/Contents/MacOS/myUnityTerminalApp -i somefile -output someotherfile

I'd like to print things (errors, results) to the terminal but apparently unity defaults to capturing stdout into a file. I tried outputting to System.Console.OpenStandardOutput() but that didn't work either.

How can I output to the terminal?
