Writing OutputStream to String[] array? I'm stumped.....

[Steve Jasper]

I'm trying to redirect the Standard System.out to a custom
OutputStream in order to collect and add each write() to a String,
which I will later save off for a variety of other purposes.

I can redirect the standard system.out using System.setOut() without
any problem, but I'm not sure how to intercept every write().

Essentially my goal is to have everything being printed to the console
to also be collected into String objects and stored in a HashMap or
Vector for later use.

Can anyone offer any suggestions? I feel like I'm missing something
real easy....

Like posting your code?

on UNIX or Linux use "tee"

No, the OP needs to post his code. Using the methods of the Process class,
he can get what he wants, exactly. No system-specific calls needed.

You override some or all of OutputStream's write() methods in your
custom OutputStream, and insert there the behavior you want. If you
have need then from the code of your custom class you may invoke the
parent class' write(...) methods as super.write(...).

If you need further assistance then it will be to your advantage to post
what you've done so far.

As it happens, this particular problem is used as an
example program in this tutorial:

Look at the "TeeOutputStream" example.
