Command that creates file and also greps that file?

Sepia · #1 (**permalink**) 06-18-2009

I have a command that does something and then creates a log file (importlog.xml).

I then want to grep that newly created log (importlog.xml) file for a certain word (success).

I then want to write that grep result to a new file (success.log).

So far I can run the command which creates the file. I can also do the grep.

However I cannot do them together in one command. Is it possible to create a file and then grep that file in the same command?

This is my grep command which I have just put on the end of my other command which first created the file importlog.xml:

| grep SUCCESS importlog.xml > SUCCESS.log

The two commands are seperated using | pipe.

Is this possible or does the grep have to be run seperately after the first command which creates the importlog.xml file?

I am using Solaris.

Thank you.
