Mirror writeProgress output in the standard Windows console

Hello, 

I see that I am able to write a progress change into a specified file during a defined period of time, using the “writeProgress” CLI command, but is it also possible to mirror the writeProgress output in the standard Windows console while its outputting into the specified file? Maybe this already exists, and I am not sure how to do. Any help would be great.

This would help me out immensely.

Thank you in advance

Hi Kiran, did you try stdConsole command? - Enable console redirection to the application standard output. When used, you will see the application console content mirrored also in the standard Windows console. This also enables further redirections for CLI purposes.

Hello, 

Thank you for the stdConsole command suggestion, I do indeed use it, but the problem with stdConsole is that during processes that take a while like building calculating mesh or textures, it doesn’t output to console. The Cli does have “writeProgress” command, but it only outputs to a file. 

It would be great If I could have the output from “writeProgress” output in the standard Windows console. You basically have no idea whats happening during process like calculating mesh or textures.

Thank you
