Title
Body
is there an easy way in powershell to output a string to variable and console at the same time? i want to capture the output of my script to a variable so i can analyze it in the end of the script, save it to a log file and also email to an operator. my intent is to have a variable $output and add any output strings to it and also output to console immediately something like $output="Process started" $output=+"Doing step 1" "Doing step 1" $output=+"Doing step 2" "Doing step 2" so in the end I can save $output to a log file, email it and parse it. I played with tee-object that might work for that purpose but unfortunately it would rewrite my $output variable instead of appending a string to it. UPDATE This is the final solution I decided to go with - thanks to manojlds! $script:output = "" filter mylog { $script:output+= $_+"`n" return $_ } "doing step {0}" -f 1 | mylog "doing step {0}" -f 2 | mylog "doing step {0}" -f 3 | mylog #in the end of the script $script:output
