Output
Hi guys!
We have a need to be able to do the following for example.
Run a script from a command window
See the script run with all output from that window
Log ALL output eg.exactly what is seen while looking at the window, in a text file.
For example:
cmd
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>ping dell101
Pinging dell101 [192.168.0.2] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

Ping statistics for 192.168.0.2:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
All the above to be shown in a text file, including the command used to generate the replies.
Is there a way to do:
1) Get all the screen in an output file including commands entered and output
2) To also, while you are in the command window, to have the normal output displayed as well, so a duplicate of what will be written to the output file?
Thanks guys any help very much appreciated.

Hi SB!
Thank you for that.
If I use:
ping hostname > output.txt
The output.txt has:
Pinging dell101 [192.168.0.2] with 32 bytes of data:

==========================
Is there a way of getting the output.txt to display also the command you executed?
Would you have to set up 2 batch files to do this and call one from the other?
Thx SB

This solution is only available to members.

Thanx again! :^)
To redirect output simply use
ping hostname > output.txt
But to see it both on the screen and log it in a file, you can use tee...
