add option to save generated code into file

I’m sorry if I missed this functionality, but CLI version hasn’t it for sure (I saw the related code only in generate_code_examples.py). I guess it will be very useful to eliminate copy-paste phase, especially for large models.

Of course, piping is a solution, but not for development in Jupyter Notebook, for example.

Hey @wbadry!

If you’re using m2cgen in CLI you can just redirect its stdout into the file. Eg:

$ m2cgen <path_to_model> --language c > <path_to_output_file>

Alternatively if you’re using the Python API:

import m2cgen as m2c

generated_code = m2c.export_to_c(...)
with open('<path_to_output_file', 'w') as fd:
    fd.write(generated_code)

Hope this helps!

Closing due to the lack of interest.
