In unix there is a program called tee. It works something like program.pl | tee log.file
you just have program.pl write to STDOUT alternatively, in your program, you could just do my $log = "log.file"; open( LOG, ">>log.file" ); print "THING\n"; print LOG "THING\n"; close LOG; ( basically print twice for everything you print. -----Original Message----- From: mark sony [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 8:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: create log as well as print on screen Hi All, I wrote a script which is running perfectly fine providing many outputs on the screen . Only glitch is that it does not print in a log file . Now what I want is that it would print on the screen as well as create a log file . At the end of the program I will output that the above output can also be seen at the $log_File_position . Hope I am clear with my question . Any type of pointers and I would be over the moon ;) Thanx in advance Mark ___________________________________________________ Meet your old school or college friends from 1 Million + database...
