How to print cell output to a file on colab

Question

In Google Colab, I want to execute several lines of python code, both print and function. The goal is to redirect the result to a file.Any tips?

Answer 1

1. In the cell do you want to print to the file write the following:

   %%capture cap
   

2. For print into a file:

   f = open("output.txt", "w") 
   print(cap, file=f)
   f.close()
   

• Note: With very large outputs it may not work very well. The object type of variable c is CapturedIO from IPython.utils.capture
