How to transfer data to a computer without going through the board?

I've executed a little program in C on the NIOS processor. Everything was done in software, i.e. sopc builder, IDE and Instruction Set Simulator, because my development kit is taking too long to be delivered! Now I can see the results on the ISS console with printf but I would like to know if it is possible to redirect the data to the hard disk of my computer for example. Is there something like ouput piping to a text file or similar that I could use? My ouput is a biggish 2-D array of integers and it is lot more convenient to view it in notepad.

Thanks
