Can I save the buffer or contents of a console win

问题:

I am having fun with Console Applications and just wanted to know. What's the best way to save the current buffer of a console window for later use and provide a sort of history navigation function. I know the Diagnostics namespace provides ability to read standard output but that's only if you redirect it, so basically you will have to run process all your results in a new window which seems a little dumb.

You need to read the console screen buffer.

I wrote a series of articles about accessing the Console API from .NET a few years ago. The article you're interested in is Working with Console Screen Buffers.
