The following script is part of a more complex one. I have taken out some parts just for simplification.
My aim is to insert a textedit field that captures the print output of the command window (when the pushbutton is pressed) and displays it inside the text field while the program is executing.
The suggestions I found are too much aimed at scripts that have no other functions. But my script is already quite complex and I don’t want to change it from the beginning or rewrite the whole script. Does anyone have an idea on how to include the function in the script in a relatively simple way? I have tried it without success.
Any kind help would be appreciated.
