How do I echo and send console output to a file in a bat script?

Question

I have a batch script that executes a task and sends the output to a text file. Is there a way to have the output show on the console window as well?

For Example:

c:\Windows>dir > windows-dir.txt

Is there a way to have the output of dir display in the console window as well as put it into the text file?

Thanks

Answer 1

command > file >&1

Answer 2

If you don't need the output in real time (i.e. as the program is writing it) you could add

type windows-dir.txt

after that line.

Answer 3

The solution that worked for me was: dir > a.txt | type a.txt.
