Well, I have this program that I run with the help of batch. Its a PHP script that is ran by an EXE file. How can I have it that while the program is running, the output is automatically sent to a file, say log.txt, and have the output simultaneously shown on screen?
I tried something like program.exe >> log.txt, but that didnt show output on the screen.
If you want to do it only with windows commands may be you should try something like this:
program.exe > %temp%\temp.log
type %temp%\temp.log
type >> log.txt
@del %temp%\temp.log /S /Q
there is no tail equivalent in windows commands.
By 'show output on the screen' do you mean updating the file contents on an already opened screen/console window.
If yes, you can use the following command
tail -f log.txt
Please note that 'tail' is not available with base installation of windows, but you can download it (free). look for unixUtils for windows.
teecommand either.
