    Hi Guys,
    I have a small batch file thats spits a load of output onto the screen, its somethign like this....

    @echo off
    call makebuilda.bat
    call makebuildb.bat
    call copybuild.bat
    pause

    In order to get it to write this output to a file I changed it to
    @echo off
    call makebuilda.bat >file.txt
    call makebuildb.bat >>file.txt
    call copybuild.bat >>file.txt
    pause

    Good news is it more or less works,
    Bad news is it no longer displays the output on the command window

    How do I get both to work?

    Thats not suitable because it outputs everything including variables etc ...

    Can you run both, one with the redirection and one without.

    Doubles the work, but may suit.

    Other than that, all i can think of is a redirect within the batch file you are calling to echo to CON

    Not what you want but..
    [php]
    @echo off
    call makebuilda.bat >file.txt
    type file.txt
    call makebuildb.bat >>file.txt
    type file.txt
    call copybuild.bat >>file.txt
    type file.txt
    pause[/php]

    or notepad file.txt and re-open

    But yeah it would be handy having an app that could input a stream , display the live stream and pipe it to the file too.
    I'm sure you could do it with SED but there must be an easier way

    Unix's tee command does exactly that.

    Win32 versions of that and a load of others available at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/summary.html Installing these means installing loads of support stuff such as libraries as well, so you may prefer a standalone versions of that one program. If you Google tee.exe you'll find loads .. here's one http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~bfriesen/software/files/tee32.zip
