Is it possible to NSLog only the string that I pass, not the other info?

Question

NSLog(@"example");

will ouput :

2012-09-13 04:54:48.128 MyApp[94652:a0f]: example

on the console.

Is there a way I can get it to only output:

If you define this macro and use it instead of NSLog it will only output what you specify.

#define NSLog(FORMAT, ...) printf("%s\n", [[NSString stringWithFormat:FORMAT, ##__VA_ARGS__] UTF8String]);
