Programatic way to save content of an Output Console?

Mark,

Thanks for the reply. I have tried to do this but even after adding "Output Window" as a dependency of my module I can still not import the classes (OutWriter, NbWriter) required for the following line:

        OutWriter outWriter = ((NbWriter) instrOutputTab.getOut()).out();
        outWriter.getLines();
