Windows направить вывод в файл

To expand on davor’s answer, you can use PowerShell like this:

powershell "dir | tee test.txt"

If you’re trying to redirect the output of an exe in the current directory, you need to use .\ on the filename, eg:

powershell ".\something.exe | tee test.txt"

I was able to find a solution/workaround of redirecting output to a file and then to the console:

dir > a.txt | type a.txt

where dir is the command which output needs to be redirected, a.txt a file where to store output.

Check this out: wintee

No need for cygwin.

I did encounter and report some issues though.

Also you might check unxutils because it contains tee (and no need for cygwin), but beware that output EOL’s are UNIX-like here.

Last, but not least, is if you have PowerShell, you could try Tee-Object. Type get-help tee-object in PowerShell console for more info.

@tori3852

I found that

dir > a.txt | type a.txt

didn’t work (first few lines of dir listing only — suspect some sort of process forking and the second part, the ‘type’ command terminated before the dire listing had completed? ),
so instead I used:

dir > z.txt && type z.txt

which did — sequential commands, one completes before the second starts.

Unfortunately there is no such thing.

Windows console applications only have a single output handle. (Well, there are two STDOUT, STDERR but it doesn’t matter here) The > redirects the output normally written to the console handle to a file handle.

If you want to have some kind of multiplexing you have to use an external application which you can divert the output to. This application then can write to a file and to the console again.

A simple C# console application would do the trick:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;

namespace CopyToFiles
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var buffer = new char[100];
            var outputs = new List<TextWriter>();

            foreach (var file in args)
                outputs.Add(new StreamWriter(file));

            outputs.Add(Console.Out);

            int bytesRead;
            do
            {
                bytesRead = Console.In.ReadBlock(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
                outputs.ForEach(o => o.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead));
            } while (bytesRead == buffer.Length);

            outputs.ForEach(o => o.Close());
        }
    }
}

To use this you just pipe the source command into the program and provide the path of any files you want to duplicate the output to. For example:

dir | CopyToFiles files1.txt files2.txt 

Will display the results of dir as well as store the results in both files1.txt and files2.txt.

Note that there isn’t much (anything!) in the way of error handling above, and supporting multiple files may not actually be required.

This works, though it’s a bit ugly:

dir >_ && type _ && type _ > a.txt

It’s a little more flexible than some of the other solutions, in that it works statement-by-statement so you can use it to append as well. I use this quite a bit in batch files to log and display messages:

ECHO Print line to screen and log to file.  >_ && type _ && type _ >> logfile.txt

Yes, you could just repeat the ECHO statement (once for the screen and the second time redirecting to the logfile), but that looks just as bad and is a bit of a maintenance issue. At least this way you don’t have to make changes to messages in two places.

Note that _ is just a short filename, so you’ll need to make sure to delete it at the end of your batch file (if you’re using a batch file).

I’d like to expand a bit on Saxon Druce’s excellent answer.

As stated, you can redirect the output of an executable in the current directory like so:

powershell ".\something.exe | tee test.txt"

However, this only logs stdout to test.txt. It doesn’t also log stderr.

The obvious solution would be to use something like this:

powershell ".\something.exe 2>&1 | tee test.txt"

However, this won’t work for all something.exes. Some something.exes will interpret the 2>&1 as an argument and fail. The correct solution is to instead only have apostrophes around the something.exe and its switches and arguments, like so:

powershell ".\something.exe --switch1 --switch2 … arg1 arg2 …" 2^>^&1 ^| tee test.txt

Notice though, that in this case you have to escape the special cmd-shell characters «>&|» with a «^» each so they only get interpreted by powershell.

mtee is a small utility which works very well for this purpose. It’s free, source is open, and it Just Works.

You can find it at http://www.commandline.co.uk.

Used in a batch file to display output AND create a log file simultaneously, the syntax looks like this:

    someprocess | mtee /+ mylogfile.txt

Where /+ means to append output.

This assumes that you have copied mtee into a folder which is in the PATH, of course.

I know this is a very old topic, but in previous answers there is not a full implementation of a real time Tee written in Batch. My solution below is a Batch-JScript hybrid script that use the JScript section just to get the output from the piped command, but the processing of the data is done in the Batch section. This approach have the advantage that any Batch programmer may modify this program to fit specific needs. This program also correctly process the output of CLS command produced by other Batch files, that is, it clear the screen when CLS command output is detected.

ping localhost >> c:\a.txt & type c:\a.txt
pause

send output to console, append to console log, delete output from current command

dir  >> usb-create.1 && type usb-create.1 >> usb-create.log | type usb-create.1 && del usb-create.1

I’ve found for myself that there is a set of issues what makes a set of tee implementations are not reliable in the Windows (Windows 7 in mine case).

I need to use specifically a tee implementation because have already uses a batch script with self redirection:

The script and calls to some utilities inside the script can break the output if used together with a tee utility.

• Correctly handles standard output together with a console progress bar, where the \r character is heavily used.

Cons:

• Makes console progress bars to draw only in a log file, but it has not duplicated or visible in the console window.
• Throws multiple error messages Cwrite error: No such file or directory because seems the cmd interpreter closes the pipe/stdout too early and can not self close after that (spamming until termination).
• Does not duplicate/print the output from the pause command (Press any key to continue...) in the console window.

1. The wintee implementation:

https://code.google.com/archive/p/wintee/

Pros:

• Shows a console progress bar both in the console window and in a log file (multiple prints).
• Does duplicate/print the output from the pause command (Press any key to continue...) in the console window.

Cons:

• Incorrectly handles the \r character, output is mixed and messed (https://code.google.com/archive/p/wintee/issues/7 ).
• Having other issues: https://code.google.com/archive/p/wintee/issues

Pros

• Shows a console progress bar both in the console window and in a log file (multiple prints).

Pros:

• Shows a console progress bar both in the console window and in a log file (multiple prints).

Cons:

• For some reason does duplicate/print the output from the pause command (Press any key to continue...) in the console window AFTER a key press.

---

1. The ritchielawrence mtee implementation:

https://ritchielawrence.github.io/mtee

https://github.com/ritchielawrence/mtee

Pros

• Shows a console progress bar both in the console window and in a log file (multiple prints).
• Correctly handles the \r character.
• Does duplicate/print the output from the pause command (Press any key to continue...) in the console window.
• The error code retain feature w/o a need to use workaround with the doskey (/E flag, Windows command interpreter: how to obtain exit code of first piped command )

Cons

• Does not support forward slash characters in the path to a log file (https://github.com/ritchielawrence/mtee/issues/6 )

• Has a race condition issue, when can not extract a pipe process exit code because it has closed before it’s access (https://github.com/ritchielawrence/mtee/issues/4 )

---

So, if you are choosing the tee utility implementation between the above, then a better choice is the UnxUtils or mtee.

---

If you are searching for a better implementation with more features and less issues, then you can use callf utility:
https://github.com/andry81/contools/tree/HEAD/Utilities/src/callf/help.tpl

You can run instead of:

call test.bat | mtee /E 1.log

This:

callf.exe /ret-child-exit /tee-stdout 1.log /tee-stdout-dup 1 "" "cmd.exe /c call test.bat"

It is better because it can pipe stdout separately from stderr and you can even pipe between processes with Administrator privileges isolation using named pipes.

Cons:

• Incorrectly handles the \r character, output is mixed and messed
• For some reason does duplicate/print the output from the pause command (Press any key to continue...) in the console window AFTER a key press.

1. The ritchielawrence mtee implementation:

https://ritchielawrence.github.io/mtee

https://github.com/ritchielawrence/mtee

Pros

• Shows a console progress bar both in the console window and in a log file (multiple prints).
• Correctly handles the \r character.
• Does duplicate/print the output from the pause command (Press any key to continue...) in the console window.
• The error code retain feature w/o a need to use workaround with the doskey (/E flag, Windows command interpreter: how to obtain exit code of first piped command )

Cons

• Does not support forward slash characters in the path to a log file (https://github.com/ritchielawrence/mtee/issues/6 )

• Has a race condition issue, when can not extract a pipe process exit code because it has closed before it’s access (https://github.com/ritchielawrence/mtee/issues/4 )

---

So, if you are choosing the tee utility implementation between the above, then a better choice is the UnxUtils or mtee.

---

If you are searching for a better implementation with more features and less issues, then you can use callf utility:
https://github.com/andry81/contools/tree/HEAD/Utilities/src/callf/help.tpl

You can run instead of:

call test.bat | mtee /E 1.log

This:

callf.exe /ret-child-exit /tee-stdout 1.log /tee-stdout-dup 1 "" "cmd.exe /c call test.bat"

It is better because it can pipe stdout separately from stderr and you can even pipe between processes with Administrator privileges isolation using named pipes.

@echo on

set startDate=%date%
set startTime=%time%

set /a sth=%startTime:~0,2%
set /a stm=1%startTime:~3,2% - 100
set /a sts=1%startTime:~6,2% - 100


fullprocess.bat > C:\LOGS\%startDate%_%sth%.%stm%.%sts%.LOG | fullprocess.bat

This will create a log file with the current datetime and you can the console lines during the process

I use a batch subroutine with a «for» statement to get the command output one line at a time and both write that line to a file and output it to the console.

@echo off
set logfile=test.log

call :ExecuteAndTee dir C:\Program Files

Exit /B 0

:ExecuteAndTee
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
echo Executing '%*'
  for /f "delims=" %%a in ('%* 2^>^&1') do (echo.%%a & echo.%%a>>%logfile%)
endlocal
Exit /B 0

This works in real time but is also kind a ugly and the performance is slow. Not well tested either:

@echo off
cls
SET MYCOMMAND=dir /B
ECHO File called 'test.bat' > out.txt
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%I in (`%MYCOMMAND%`) do (
  ECHO %%I
  ECHO %%I >> out.txt
) 
pause
