Is this possible using ANSI libraries?
What does "ANSI libraries" mean? Do you mean "the Standard Library"?
If so, the answer is "no".
If I have an exe that calls a
black box DLL, and the DLL writes to the console, how can I get my exe
to grab what the DLL wrote, modify it, and spit out a modified form of
said output?
You can try to "capture" or "redirect" the standard output in a different
stream, and then you can do anything you want with that stream's buffer.
Standard output redirection, however, is implementation- and platform-
specific. Ask in the newsgroup for your OS or your compiler.
It's not too clear to me what the situation actually is. If the
DLL outputs to cout/cerr, it's relatively simple to connect
these streams to your own filtering streambuf, and do whatever
you want. If the DLL outputs using system level functions (the
Windows equivalent of write), then there's probably nothing he
can do.
