Tee?

TCC 11.00.40 Windows Vista [Version 6.0.6002]

I have not used the internal tee command for ages, but today I was
using it and it does not seem to work. For example:

echo xxx | tee x.txt

does not create an x.txt file. But when I do this:

echo xxx | "\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\tee.exe" x.txt

using an external tee command, it works.

Not reproducible; it works fine here (Vista, Windows 2008, and Windows 7.)

Anybody else able to reproduce this?

TCC 11.00.40 Windows Vista [Version 6.0.6002]
TCC Build 40 Windows Vista Build 6002 Service Pack 2

I can not reproduce the problem report, either with or without unicode
output. Tee works as expected for me.

I have done a little more experimenting, and if I start TCMD11 from
the default icon it creates on installation, tee works. If I run it
from the customised icon I have in my ObjectDock Plus dock, tee does
not work. So there is probably something in my INI file that is
causing the problem. That customised icon is set up like this:

Target:
"C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD11\tcmd.exe"
/@C:\Users\Public\Documents\JPSoft\TCMD11.INI

Start in:
"C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD11\"

This is the tcstart.btm file in the C:\Users\Public\Documents\JPSoft\
directory:

@echo off
set jpsoft_path=C:\Users\Public\Documents\JPSoft
iff %_shralias eq 0 then
set SHRALIAS_SAVE_PATH=%jpsoft_path
shralias >&nul:
delay /m 100
alias /r "%jpsoft_path\aliases."
iff exist %jpsoft_path\history.sav then
history /r %jpsoft_path\history.sav
endiff
iff exist %jpsoft_path\dirhistory.sav then
dirhistory /r %jpsoft_path\dirhistory.sav
endiff
iff exist %jpsoft_path\function.sav then
function /r %jpsoft_path\function.sav
endiff
endiff
iff "%dircmd" eq "" then
set dircmd=/a /ogne /p
endiff
rem call brief
cdd c:\

and this is the TCMD11.INI file in C:\Users\Public\Documents\JPSoft\:

Does anyone see anything that could be causing this?

I notice you don't specify a path for TEE's output file. Any chance it's getting created in C:\? (Or that Windows is trying to create it there, and UAC is preventing it from doing so?)

Your TCMD.INI works fine with TEE here.

Two things -- if you're running in Vista / Windows 7, make sure you're in a
directory where you're actually allowed to create the tee file. (Try a
"echo foo > bar.txt" and see if that is allowed. If not, you've got
something messing with your file system.)

Second, do a "which tee" to make sure you're actually running the internal
TEE.

I am running with UAC off, so I have no problems with write access to
directories. The external tee can write to the directory and TCC can
write the tee file when run from the standard icon. Doing "echo
xxx>x.txt" works. I had already checked "which tee", and it is using
the internal tee command.

Aha! I found all the files tee was creating in my C:\ directory, even
though the commands were being run in C:\temp\temp. I am running with
UAC off, so there is no problem for any program to write to C:\.

Another test from D:\temp\temp also wrote the tee file to C:\. And
doing "echo xxx | tee .\x.txt" from D:\temp\temp wrote to C:\. Only
if I do "echo xxx | tee d:\temp\temp\x.txt" does it work correctly.

So, why would tee be thinking the current directory is always C:\ and
the current drive is C: ???

Remember that when you use a pipe, you're starting another instance of TCC. That new instance will in turn run TCSTART.BTM. In your case, that means changing the current directory to C:\

I'd suggest adding a line near the top of your TCSTART.BTM; right after the @ECHO OFF is probably good:

Code:
if %_transient == 1 .or. %_pipe == 1 quit

Yes, that was it. Your fix works well, thank you.
