Resetting Standard output Stream

by

You can get hold of the file descriptor for standard out through FileDescriptor.out. To reset standard out to print to console, you do

System.setOut(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(FileDescriptor.out)));

Another way is to simply hold on to the original object, as follows:

PrintStream stdout = System.out;
System.setOut(new PrintStream(logFile));

// ...

System.setOut(stdout);                   // reset to standard output
