Hello,
I am looking for a command(s) to copy the output/execution of a batch file to a log file. I still need the user to be able to see outputs and input variables.

I think I know what you mean try :-
BATCHFILE.BAT > LOGFILE.LTXT
That will create a new file called LOGFILE.TXT which you canview in wordpad. If you want to append to that file later replace > with >>
Hope this helps Th' Cat

Hi,
I'm having the same/similar problem as Gareth. I would like a duplicate copy of the screen output recorded in a .txt log file. It is important that the user still sees everything on the screen. I have tried the suggestion from Th'Cat, but it redirects all screen output instead of copying the screen output. Does anyone know if this can be done?
Thanks,
Dean.
