Loops - new terminal output to file for each loop

[jm_ice]

Hi all!

So I'm a beginner and teaching myself! I am running a scientific model, the main code to which is beyond me(!) and installed on my computer. I have some 'instruction' code which I run to tell the model which variables and options I want to use. When I run this code, I get a series of output files in the current working directory which are products of the scientific model, alongside the large output in the terminal, which I am currently saving to a file using &> terminal_output &

I now want to run the model multiple times for multiple combinations of different variables. To do this I am putting the 'instruction' code in a series of nested for loops. However I want to get the equivalent of the terminal output into a new file for each loop. So for each loop I will have a new file containing the terminal output just for that run over the loops. I hope that makes sense...

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

It would depend on how the program you are using is structured and how you are calling it. If it is just a few print statements in a function, I would use the file parameter of the print statements to redirect the output, passing it to the print statements by adding a parameter to the function you are calling. If that is not feasible, I would redirect sys.stdout, which would send all print statements to a specified file.
