I assume, from the reference to "standard output", that you're talking
about a Unix-based machine.  If this is the case, you can pipe the
output of your program through the Unix "tee" command which can
write/append the data to a file and also send it to your terminal.
For example:

   command | tee log.txt

will store the output from "command" in a file called "log.txt" and
also display it on your screen.

There ARE some limitations to this, especially if you are doing
some sort of terminal input between your outputs, but if your
program is just dumping out some data, it will work fine.
