Hello all,

I can run the following code with this command showing output on the
console: ./poisson_m -ksp_view_solution

The code is:
static char help[] = "Solves a tridiagonal linear system.\n\n";

/*T
   Concepts: KSP^basic parallel example;
   Processors: n
T*/

/*
  Include "petscksp.h" so that we can use KSP solvers.  Note that this file

Now I am trying to save this output in a file (say in a .csv file) at
runtime along with execution time but I can't.

Any suggestion please!
