Is there an elegant way to both echo a command and save it to a file? The common use case is echo "test" >> someappendedfile.txt, in which case the command does not appear in bin/bash. By definition, >> is a re-direction, so doing both seems like a weird command.
I would like the result of something like echo "test" >> someappendedfile.txt to both log to stdout and the appending file.
Is there an alternative operator or utility that does what I am asking?

Why variable values are lost after terminating the loop in bash? [duplicate]

First of all, I am sorry, I am learning the bash and I am a newbie.
Please find the below script.
grep "error" /var/log/syslog | while read line
do
echo $line
done
If I am not wrong,The above script will grep the keyword "error" in /var/log/syslog and will send it inside the while loop as STDIN and output will be displayed.
Also please loop the below script.
echo "hello" | read hi
echo $hi
So when I run this script I am not getting any output, why is that?
should I use any loop? only then I will get output?

Redirect all output to file in Bash [duplicate]

I was wondering how to redirect the output from my bash file (which is getting its input from another redirect) to a txt file.
This is how I run my program:
$ ./myFile.bash < input.txt
I would like to save my output to some txt file (something like this):
$ out.txt < ( myFile.bash < input.txt )
What would be the most correct/formal/generic ways to go about this? Are there multiple options if any?
$ ./myFile.bash < input.txt > out.txt

I am asking in the context of piping the result of the following command to another:
echo "foo" | tee >&2
with >&2 you are sending the output to standard error instead of standard out.
here you can read about the standard I/O streams:

I'm trying to create a file using bash that has the current time as it's name. This is how I'm trying to do it:
echo 'hello' > date +"%T".txt
What am I missing?
Use command substitution to capture date's output as a string.
echo 'hello' > "$(date +%T)".txt
