redirecting output and creating condition for while loop.

I have 2 questions.

1) Is there a means of directing output to a file (">") while making it still output to the console?

I have a script that calls another lengthy script.

2) I can direct the output of the lengthy script and grep it for the words "good" or "bad" to know if I need the run the script again, but how would this exactly work? I'm just looking for the most efficient code.

Rather than putting anything in a file, I'd like to just grep the output:

Code:
while `. ./lengthyScript.sh | grep bad`
do
          echo "repeating script"
done

I'm wondering how to evaluate if ". ./lengthyScript.sh | grep bad" is true of not. If you have any suggestions here, I'd really appreciate it.

standard 12.34 with exponent 12.23e-5 complex 12i-5 OPTIONS
-o, --output [output length] The argument is a number between 2 and the maximal possible output length (normally 18). -m, --mode [calculator mode] The mode can be std (default, normal scientific calculatons), base (for logic functions and base-n calculatons) or script (for exe- cuting scripts). In scripting mode, the last argument must be the path to the script file. -c, --complex This option enables complex numbers for the calculation. They are switched off by default. -b, --base [calculator base] The argument must be one of hex (hexadecimal), dec (decimal, default), oct (octal) and bin (binary). This option can only be used when -m base is set. -a, --angle [angle type] The argument must be one of deg (degrees), rad (radiant), gra (grade). -v, --version Output the version of Concalc. -h, --help Outputs a short help. SCRIPTING
The script interpreter of calc uses a C-like programming syntax. The following command are supported. if expression if(condition) command for condition true; else command for condition false; while loop while(condition) command that is run while condition is true; for loop for(initialisation; condition; count-command) command that is run while condition is true; print command print( output to print out ); getline command getline; // read a text line from stdin and returns this text getkey command getkey; // return the key pressed by the user // blocks until the user presses any key keystate command keystate; // returns the key pressed by the user or 0 if no key was pressed // nonblocking sleep command sleep( time in microseconds ); //Script is stops for the given time compare operators ==, != equal, unequal >=, <=, >, < greather or equal, less or equal, greather, less set operators -> calculator set operator = C-like set operator type converting (float) floating point value (int) integer value (string) text value (bool) boolean value BUGS
