Is there a standalone tool that works just like TCC's TEE command?

[JJ]

TCC's TEE command copies standard input to both the standard output and to a
file.

e.g. for use with FOR command when parsing a command/program output without
manually ECHOing the lines.

Tee is a standard util in the *nix world... not so much in Windows. There are
various *nix-alike systems that run under Windows which include a version of
tee, or you can write your own, if you can program. It's pretty straight-
forward:

1. Open stdin, stdout, and the file to write to (listed on the command line).
2. Read from stdin to a variable, write said variable to stdout & the file.
3. When eof(stdin), close everything and exit.

Trying to anticipate every possible future contingency can drive you crazy,
and you'll generally guess wrong anyway.

Dang, it was right under my nose! Why the heack didn't I thought of that
before? I already have a set of GNU utilities from IIRC, gnuwin32 project.
And yes, it has the tee program.

Thanks for that. :)

No problem.

You might want to get something newer than GnuWin32 (not specifically for
tee, but for everything else); the newest package is almost 7 years old.
MinGW (which I use) is still being updated -- there are files that were
uploaded just 6 weeks ago (w32api & mingwrt) -- while Cygwin is (apparently)
continuously updated, with an update 2 days ago.

I can't do that! It'll wake up THE HORROR!!!!

I actually already have GNU utilities from other packages such as MinGW,
MSYS, Cygwin, and Windows Services for UNIX.

The reason I still keep GnuWin32 is because each of the EXE file is
standalone and doesn't require additional DLL. I use it first, as long as it
works for my need. If not, I'd use the next most efficient binaries from
other packages.

Busybox provides simplified versions of over 100 common *nix utilities
in one binary. It's a handy way to get your *nix fix portably. If you
try it, be sure to read the sections on wildcard expansion and the "--
install" option. https://frippery.org/busybox/

Here you can get a script that emulates TEE command without need of external binaries : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10711839/using-a-custom-tee-command-for-bat-file/10719322#10719322

VBScript and JScript do require external binary to run. It's called Windows
Scripting Host. i.e. WSCRIPT.EXE and CSCRIPT.EXE.

But nice idea, though. Cause this would make sure that the functionality is
be available on every installation of Windows - at least version 5, without
any third party tools.

Thanks. I'll use it when I need various tools for one job.

You can also include a tee binary into the batch:

@echo off
certutil -f -decode %~f0 tee.exe>nul

dir |tee 2>log.txt

del tee.exe
goto :eof

I don't embed binary file into a batch file for use with certutil because
certutil is not guaranteed to be available in all Windows (NT)
installations.
