Is it possible in DOS to print the output both in a file and stdout ?
I am aware that in Linux, you may type
ls | tee ls.log
Is there anything similar in DOS command ?
Thanks for the help !

a couple of ways:
1) search for the windows port of the tee command ..you know how to right?
2) do your own, eg save the below vbscript as tee.vbs
Code: [Select]Dim StdIn, StdOut,objFSO
Set StdIn = WScript.StdIn
Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
For I = 0 to objArgs.Count - 1
outFile = objArgs(I)
Next
Set objFSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(outFile,True)
Do While Not StdIn.AtEndOfStream
str = StdIn.ReadLine
StdOut.WriteLine "Line " & (StdIn.Line - 1) & ": " & str
objFile.Write str & vbCrLf
Loop
objFile.Close
Set objFSO=Nothing
Set objFile=Nothing
Set objArgs=Nothing
Set StdOut=Nothing
Set StdIn=Nothing
example usage:
Code: [Select]c:\> dir | cscript /nologo tee.vbs outputfile
3) i believe there's some ways to do it in DOS, i will just leave it to the DOS experts to guide you. In the meantime, how about this in batch :
Code: [Select]c:\> dir
c:\> dir > outputfile

Mind you, we are assuming the OP actually meant "NT/W2k/XP/Vista command line" when they typed "DOS"... not always a safe assumption... maybe they will clarify?
