How do I view a long C++ output to console (Only displaying end portion)

I am running codeblocks on Linux Mint 17 and I have not had any issues until now. I am running a relatively long sequence of output and my terminal will only show the last 500 lines of output to Console (terminal). I am needing to view the beginnining portion of the sequence and I would like to know if there are any settings I could change within my OS or codeblocks itself to adjust the amount of output that is printed to console. Perhaps there is a way to save the console output to file (without coding for filestream)? Thank you! I appreciate your help greatly!

EDIT: I forgot to mention I am using C++ and the console I am using is Linux Mint default terminal.

You can use less command in linux.

Ex : ./a.out (executable file) | less

In windows you have "more" command.

as like above linux command, you can pipe your output to "more" command and see full result.

If you are using the terminal you could just ouput it to a text file like this:

./execution_file > text_file.out

The executable file should be in the same folder as the cpp file, but if you cant find it you could use:

g++ -o codefile.cpp executionfile
