Hi

Using a 3rd party "tee" program is an option, a couple of alternatives:

MTEE Commandline Standard Stream Splitter
http://www.commandline.co.uk/mtee/index.html

Tee is also in the "GNU utilities for Win32" at
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net

You use a little utilit y called TEE available here
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

echo test| tee -a log.txt (the -a switch means to append to the output file)

Or without tee but using your example:
echo test
echo test>log.txt
