Consolewrite output when script is opened directly?

[Rapide]

Is there any way to see Consolewrite output when script is opened directly and not executed from editor? Curious.

Edit: I am running a script and I want to see the consolewrite output of it (without terminating it ofcourse)😱

Compile it as CUI or make a GUI with an Edit control that you use as a Console

Is there any other way? Making GUI sounds like a long and even slightly difficult alternative for new people like me. As I said earlier, I am already running several scripts directly and don't want to terminate it, and start over everything again. I wonder if its possible to make another script to get Consolewrite() value or a variable value of the previous running script?

I use this to be able to write to console in any case (compiled or not):

Global $CW = @Compiled ? __ConsoleWrite : _ConsoleWrite

Func __ConsoleWrite(ByRef $s)
    Local Static $hCon = __ConsoleInit()
    DllCall("kernel32.dll", "bool", "WriteConsoleW", "handle", $hCon, "wstr", $s & @LF, "dword", StringLen($s) + 1, "dword*", 0, "ptr", 0)
    Return
EndFunc   ;==>__ConsoleWrite

Func __ConsoleInit()
    DllCall("kernel32.dll", "bool", "AllocConsole")
    Return DllCall("kernel32.dll", "handle", "GetStdHandle", "int", -11)[0]
EndFunc   ;==>__ConsoleInit

; Unicode-aware ConsoleWrite
Func _ConsoleWrite($s)
    ConsoleWrite(BinaryToString(StringToBinary($s & @LF, 4), 1))
EndFunc   ;==>_ConsoleWrite

I setup the SciTE console to Unicode, so that's why the last function is needed.

Use it like that:

$CW("some text" & @LF)

I use log4a.au3 logger and set it to create a log file if running compiled. Otherwise it right to the console
