Output string to log file, then pipe to function as argument












0














So I am trying to echo a string out to a log file and also pass that echo'd string over to a function along with other arguments as well. I can't seem to figure out how to do it or find any answers on here. Here is what I have



#!/bin/bash



test() {

   INPUT=$(cat)

   echo "IT WORKED $INPUT $1 $2"

}



echo "TEST2" > test.log | cat | test "Hi " "John"


My Output



IT WORKED  Hi  John





bash shell-script shell echo bash-functions

  • I tried working with tee as well, however I wasn't able to get it. Something like echo "TEST2" | tee test.log > test "Hi " "John didn't work

  • The whole point of tee is to have its standard output be a pipe.  If you say tee (filename) > test …, that will create a file called test, which is not what you want. P.S. Put everything that you tried into the question.
