Capturing and displaying output from within Julia

Question

I looked everywhere for this so I am putting it here for the weary traveler;

Question: How do I capture the full output of a variable to a file from within a julia script?

i.e. :

#script.jl
y = f(x)
y > out.txt

Answer 1

The answer is here:

https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl/issues/455 If you want to display the output then:

show(STDOUT, "text/plain", x)

If you want to pipe the output to a file then:

x=rand(Float32, 32,32)
f = open("log.txt", "w")
    write(f, string(x))
close(f)

And for larger x or prettier output

x = rand(Float32, 1028,1028);
f = open("log.txt", "w");
writedlm(f, x);
close(f);
