Unity Call a class function from other script

I have 2 scripts: Console and Test. I want to call "appendLogLine" function from Test script but cannot get it working.

Console.cs:

public class ConsoleController
{

    public void appendLogLine(string line)
    {
        if (line == "Unable to process command ''")
            return;

        Debug.Log(line);

        if (scrollback.Count >= ConsoleController.scrollbackSize)
        {
            scrollback.Dequeue();
        }
        scrollback.Enqueue(line);

        log = scrollback.ToArray();
        if (logChanged != null)
        {
            logChanged(log);
        }
    }
}

Test.cs:

public GameObject ConsoleObject;

public void CallLog()
{

    ConsoleObject.GetComponent<ConsoleController>.appendLogLine ("Test123");
}

I get error with that: "error CS0119: Expression denotes a method group', where avariable', value' ortype' was expected"

In order to use GetComponent, the script you are performing GetComponent on must inherit from MonoBehaviour. This is not the case here.

public class ConsoleController {} should be public class ConsoleController : MonoBehaviour {}

Now, you use GetComponent on the ConsoleController script. Note that you forgot "()" too. You must include that since GetComponent is a function.

It should be this:

ConsoleObject.GetComponent<ConsoleController>().appendLogLine("Test123");
