I'm sure there's a lot of ways to do this...

command > file1.ext
cp file1.ext file2.ext
cp file1.ext file3.ext

You can also try using the tee command, but it may only work on the C shell.

To write to the files:
command | tee file1.ext file2.ext file3.ext

To append to them:
command | tee -a file1.ext file2.ext file3.ext

If perl is anygood to you.

#util to write info to three files
#version 1.0

#open files
open (FILE1, "> c:\\Documents and settings\\file1.txt") or die "Cant open file: $!";
$file1 = FILE1;
open (FILE2, "> c:\\Documents and settings\\file2.txt") or die "Cant open file2: $!";
$file2 = FILE2;
open (FILE3, "> c:\\Documents and settings\\file3.txt") or die "Cant open file3: $!";
$file3 = FILE3;

#put text into files
print $file1 "12345678910";
print $file2 "12345678910";
print $file3 "12345678910";

#close text files
close (FILE1);
close (FILE2);
close (FILE3);

Yeah, that Perl script would work too. And if you want to append, use >> instead of > so that the data in the file doesn't get written over.

perleo, you really don't need $file1 = FILE1, $file2 = FILE2, etc.. you can just use the filehandles FILE1, FILE2 and FILE3 in the print command.

This sounds vague enough to possibly be homework...

What do you have written so far? What shell? Why do you need it in 3 different files? How is the information stored (in a varible, a disk file, coming in from a pipe)?
