TEE command puts it's output file in c:\

[David McClelland]

I brought up a new tab and entered

[C:\]d:\Junk\

[D:\Junk]echo A line | tee teetest.txt
A line

The file teetest.txt was not in d:\Junk but I found it in c:\

Shouldn't it be in the current directory? Or am I missing something.

I am running:
TCC 21.01.53 x64 Windows 10 [Version 10.0.15063]

It should be. Check the timestamp on the one in C:. Could it be left over from a previous test? I'm surprised you can even write to C:\.

Remember that the pipe opens a new instance of TCC. Do you, perhaps, change directories in your TCSTART.BTM file?

Thanks but no, that wasn't the problem. I just re-ran the test to verify and the file appeared in C:\ as soon as the command was issued.

That was my problem. Thanks for your insight.
