Hi All,

Recently, I was writing a command-line tool and I didn't feel like dropping 
down to printf() for console output,  so I wrote this category.

Drop this in your project…

> @interface NSString (console)
> 
> - (void) writeToFileHandle:(NSFileHandle *) handle;
> - (void) writeToStdOut;
> - (void) writeToStdErr;
> 
> @end
> 
> @implementation NSString (console)
> 
> - (void) writeToFileHandle:(NSFileHandle *) handle { [handle writeData:[self 
> dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; }
> - (void) writeToStdOut { [self writeToFileHandle:[NSFileHandle 
> fileHandleWithStandardOutput]]; }
> - (void) writeToStdErr { [self writeToFileHandle:[NSFileHandle 
> fileHandleWithStandardError]]; }
> 
> @end

…and you'll be able to tell strings to output themselves like so:

[@"Hello, World!\n" writeToStdOut];

[@"Oh, no!  Something broke!\n" writeToStdErr];

[[self description] writeToStdOut];
