How to Save Console.WriteLine Output to Text File

Question

I have a program which outputs various results onto a command line console.

How do I save the output to a text file using a StreamReader or other techniques?

System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<String> lines = File.ReadAllLines(@"C:\Test\ntfs8.txt");

foreach (String r in lines.Skip(1))
{
    String[] token = r.Split(',');
    String[] datetime = token[0].Split(' ');
    String timeText = datetime[4];
    String actions = token[2];
    Console.WriteLine("The time for this array is: " + timeText);
    Console.WriteLine(token[7]);
    Console.WriteLine(actions);
    MacActions(actions);
    x = 1;
    Console.WriteLine("================================================");
}

if (x == 2)
{
    Console.WriteLine("The selected time does not exist within the log files!");
}

System.IO.StreamReader reader = ;
string sRes = reader.ReadToEnd();
StreamWriter SW;
SW = File.CreateText("C:\\temp\\test.bodyfile");
SW.WriteLine(sRes);
SW.Close();
Console.WriteLine("File Created");
reader.Close();

Based in the answer by WhoIsNinja:

This code will output both into the Console and into a Log string that can be saved into a file, either by appending lines to it or by overwriting it.

The default name for the log file is 'Log.txt' and is saved under the Application path.

public static class Logger
{
    public static StringBuilder LogString = new StringBuilder();
    public static void WriteLine(string str)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(str);
        LogString.Append(str).Append(Environment.NewLine);
    }
    public static void Write(string str)
    {
        Console.Write(str);
        LogString.Append(str);

    }
    public static void SaveLog(bool Append = false, string Path = "./Log.txt")
    {
        if (LogString != null && LogString.Length > 0)
        {
            if (Append)
            {
                using (StreamWriter file = System.IO.File.AppendText(Path))
                {
                    file.Write(LogString.ToString());
                    file.Close();
                    file.Dispose();
                }
            }
            else
            {
                using (System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(Path))
                {
                    file.Write(LogString.ToString());
                    file.Close();
                    file.Dispose();
                }
            }               
        }
    }
}

Then you can use it like this:

Logger.WriteLine("==========================================================");
Logger.Write("Loading 'AttendPunch'".PadRight(35, '.'));
Logger.WriteLine("OK.");

Logger.SaveLog(true); //<- default 'false', 'true' Append the log to an existing file.

Create a class Logger(code below), replace Console.WriteLine with Logger.Out. At the end write to a file the string Log

public static class Logger
{        
     public static StringBuilder LogString = new StringBuilder(); 
     public static void Out(string str)
     {
         Console.WriteLine(str);
         LogString.Append(str).Append(Environment.NewLine);
     }
 }
