Question

How can I redirect STDIN and STDOUT to files?

Answer 1

You can do it using the Java System api. The code is nearly identical for Java and Scala:

System.setIn(new FileInputStream("file.in"))
System.setOut(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("file.out")))

Answer 2

Do you mean something like:

import java.io.File
import scala.sys.process._
"cat" #< new File("file.in") !
