Display message on screen and flat file at same time
Hi guys,

I have a script that call another, the other displays de message and I can print directly to the flat file, but in one command I am searchig that this message can be displayed in the screen and in the flat file in one command.

I am doing something like this:

Code:
var=$(./Example.sh)
echo "$var">> $DIR/"example.txt"

and in example.txt there is the message, but on the screen I have nothing.

Thanks a lot,

Pipoca

Hi.

Use tee

Code:
echo "$var" | tee -a $DIR/example.txt

If you don't need var for anything else, you could just use:

Code:
./Example.sh | tee -a $DIR/example.txt
