Hi guys,
Basically what I want to do is run a series of commands in my batch file, and display stdout to screen as well as saving it in a file. So to set the context..
What I’d like to do is have the output of a single command directed to both. As a workaround I’ve got something which will output to a file, and then copy the contents of the file to console.
This isn’t ideal since I’d like for the user to see the activity in the console as the batch file is executing commands, rather than in a big batch at the end.
Cheers,
Anthony

::Output to file then copy file contents to console echo Hello World! >test.txt copy test.txt con > nul
This isn’t ideal since I’d like for the user to see the activity in the console as the batch file is executing commands, rather than in a big batch at the end.

In unix-land, this would be a doddle.

If you have cygwin installed, then you can just use the 'tee' provided in your cygwin bin directory.
Though if you search long enough, you might find a native Win32 implementation as well.

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.

Hi Salem,
Thanks for your reply. The problem is that it kind of has to be native to windows since these are scripts that will be run on other peoples machines who may not have cygwin. I'll keep digging around and see if I can figure this one out. Will keep you all posted.
Actually on this note (but on a tanget to the topic), I have another script which I use to generate C# code documentation using doxygen. If someone doesn't have doxygen clearly this script will not work. I figure one potential way around it though might be to package the doxygen exe with the scripts (I guess this would work for the tee suggestion as well) - but I'm not sure licensing would really permit that. I haven't looked into it myself in depth yet, but would anybody know off hand if the GNU General Public License allows for this?
To me that sounds like a yes, but I could be mistaken.
Cheers,
Anthony

Hey There,
Here's a link to a win32 tee emulator:
http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~bfriesen.../console.shtml
Otherwise, if you can somehow manage to do this with robocopy, it's the only dos command I know that has a /TEE option
Best of luck,
Mike
