[Flightgear-devel] Output streams

[BERNDT, J. S. (J. (JSC-E. (LM) <jon...@js...>]

In the JSBSim FGOutput class there are two functions which are nearly
identical except one sends output to cout and the other sends output to an
ofstream. I think it is possible to adapt the code so that only one output
function is necessary. This would require the ability to set the output
destination to either cout or a file. It would be something like this:

destination_stream << "Altitude: " << "Position->Geth() << endl;

where, depending on the situation, destination_strema refers to either cout
or my ofstream file. I am not sure if this is possible. Does anyone know
offhand if this can be done?
