[Wtr-general] Need Help redirecting the Test Unit output

[Sean Gallagher]

Hi Paul,
Try tee on the command line when you kick off your script.

Like so:

C:\> ruby iostring_test.rb | tee results.out

tee.exe is included with GNU utilities for Win32, available here:
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
