Redirecting output to a file
You may already know stdout
can be redirected to a file using the >
operator.
When there is a lot of logging, the screen can fill quickly, so redirecting can help
you manage all that information.
An example below.
Cargo run > output.txt
This gives you two major benefits
- You can search in the file
- you can use a diff program 1 to compare outputs for different executions

Lots of text editors and IDE's have a built-in diff editor. Alternatively, I use Delta.
