sqlcmd with output file and screen output

I do some command line batch (.bat) with sqlcmd as this way:

sqlcmd -i Scripts\STEP01.sql -o PROCESS.log -S MYSERVER -E -d MYDATABASE

and i need an output file (it's works currently) and also the output trought the screen to do something like:

@echo off
echo The result of the query was:
    sqlcmd -i Scripts\STEP01.sql -o PROCESS.log -S MYSERVER -E -d MYDATABASE
pause
CHOICE /C:YN /M "Is the result accord?"
IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO ENDWITHERROR
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO STEP2

Note:

  • Yes, the script works suscefull, it's not an issue question.
  • And yes, I've a "print "something" on my sql. The log file gets the output.

Thanks a lot!

Solution

  • I also couldn't find a better way then @Sparky proposed. The following code adds his suggestion:

    @echo off

:: this will execute the script into PROCESS.log
sqlcmd -i Scripts\STEP01.sql -o PROCESS.log -S MYSERVER -E -d MYDATABASE

:: this present the contents of PROCESS.log to the screen
echo The result of the query was:
type PROCESS.log

pause
CHOICE /C:YN /M "Is the result accord?"
IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO ENDWITHERROR
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO STEP2
