Hi,
I am making a script that will update my games svn addons automatically and i am trying to make it output to a log file while still showing everything on the console. any help is appreciated.

yourbatch.bat >output.log >con

thanks, so i can get rid of the append commands in the original right?

[Squashman]

Yes.
By launching your batch file this way we are redirecting stanadard output to a text file and the console.

[Squashman]

Ah hold on. That's not right.

so i tried it and everything came out fine on the console but only what i edited to have only >output.log showed up on my logfile. btw im running vista 64 if that makes diff

[SGT_awesomesauce]

ya it just puts it to the logfile and then takes it back out
mabye a print statement?

[Squashman]

You can't redirect console output in batch without a 3rd party utility. In the unix world we would use TEE. There are windows ports of TEE to do this.

i found something that works. i attached the zip file. thanks for your help

I already have TEE. I have all the GNU Utilities on my PC. I originally was a unix person and did a lot of shell scripting with that. Not sure why it took me so long to remember that.
Either one of these should work for you.
