How to save current cmd-output

Question

Is there a way to get whats currently displayed on the windows command prompt?

For example:

print('some text')
print('some different text')

>>> some text
>>> some different text

a = save_whats_on_cmd()
>>> a = 'some text \n some different text'

@Rick_2650 here is an improved version of the function as you wanted

# log function prints message and
# saves the output in log.txt of
# the current working directory
# sample usage [green text ANSI 1;32]:-
#     >>> log("hello", "world", colour="1;32")
#
# @param   objects  *args    objects we want to print
# @param   string   colour   ANSI style colour codes 
# @param   string   sep      Separator for __str__ of objects    
# @param   string   end      String to be added at lineend
# @param   string   logfile  name of logfile
# @return  void
def log(*args, sep=" ", colour="0", end="\n", logfile="log.txt"):

    printable_array = []
    colour = "\033[" + colour + "m"

    with open(logfile, "a") as file:
        for each in args:
            printable_array.append(colour+each+"\033[0m")
            file.write(each+sep) # seperator will effect the final entry
        file.write(end)

    print(*printable_array, sep=sep, end=end, flush=True)
