Redirecting CellPrint output












3












$begingroup$


How can I make g; or h; print the same output as f;? I am trying to capture the output of one function and put it in a document elsewhere, but the CellPrint output is not cooperating.



f := Module[{},
Print["Bob"];
CellPrint[Cell["", Background -> Blue, "Print"]];
Print["Bill"]]

printlist = {};
Block[{Print = AppendTo[printlist, {##}] &,
CellPrint = AppendTo[printlist, {##}] &}, f];

g := Map[CellPrint, ExpressionCell[#, "Print"] & /@
Flatten[printlist, 1]]

h := CreateDocument[ExpressionCell[#, "Print"] & /@
Flatten[printlist, 1]]

f;
g;

          Temporarily redirect the output of Print[ ] to a second file



          c) the answer:



          The problem is that you are doing CellPrint @ ExpressionCell @ Cell[.... Here is what you can do:



          f := Module[{}, Print["Bob"];
          CellPrint[Cell["", Background -> Blue, "Print"]];
          Print["Bill"]]

          printlist = {};
          Block[{Print =
          AppendTo[printlist, ExpressionCell[Row[{##}], "Print"]] &,
          CellPrint = AppendTo[printlist, {##}] &}, f];

          g := Map[CellPrint, Flatten[printlist, 1]]

          h := CreateDocument[Flatten[printlist, 1]]

          f;
          g;

            Why not wrap ExpressionCell only around Print calls? For example:



            printlist={};
            Block[
            {
            Print = AppendTo[printlist, Thread[ExpressionCell[{##}, "Print"]]]&,
            CellPrint = AppendTo[printlist, #]&
            },
            f
            ];

            g := CellPrint /@ Flatten @ printlist
            h := CreateDocument[
            Flatten @ printlist
            ]


            Then:



            g;



            enter image description here




            and:



            nb = h;
            CurrentNotebookImage[nb]



            enter image description here




            seem to do what you want.

              CellPrint >> Details:



              In CellPrint[expr]:




              If expr has head TextCell, ExpressionCell, or CellGroup, it is inserted unchanged into the notebook.




              So changing heads Cell to Sequence in the first argument of ExpressionCell works:



              ClearAll[g, h]

              g := Map[CellPrint, ExpressionCell[# /. Cell -> Sequence, "Print"] & /@
              Flatten[printlist, 1]]

              h := CreateDocument[ExpressionCell[# /. Cell -> Sequence, "Print"] & /@
              Flatten[printlist, 1]]

              g;


              enter image description here

                            Why not wrap ExpressionCell only around Print calls? For example:



                            printlist={};

                            CellPrint = AppendTo[printlist, #]&
                            },
                            f
                            ];

                            g := CellPrint /@ Flatten @ printlist
                            h := CreateDocument[
                            Flatten @ printlist

                            Then:

                                So changing heads Cell to Sequence in the first argument of ExpressionCell works:
