Option to suppress output to stdout #3

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

It would be nice if there were an option to suppress the additional output
to stdout.

You should use wtee when you want both outputs - stdout and a file.  If you 
only want
file output, just redirect stdout to a file, like :

DIR *.* > file.ext
or
DIR *.* >> file.ext

One '>' to create (overwrite) a file and two '>>' to append.

Or have I missed the point of the question...?

I'm struggling to remember why I thought this was necessary. I was trying to do 
the
equivalent of:

echo Hello World | tee output1.txt output2.txt >NUL

but some Windows peculiarity was keeping the output redirect from working.

In any case, I went another route, and currently don't have the need for this 
option.
I don't see much point in departing from the 1:1 option mapping with tee on 
Linux
unless someone else hits the same stumbling block.

Quite a useful tool, however. Thanks to the author.
