#12 Feature request: option to log output to file as well

[Anonymous]

Right now, I need to log output to a file using the following command:
pdfcrack myfile.pdf > mylogfile.txt
but then nothing is shown on Dos window (which is a correct behaviour) and I have to open the file to see the progress.

I had tried a little utility called tee.exe which is supposed to redirect output to screen AND a text file at the same time, but I'm unable to make it work. I think it's because pdfcrack sends output directly to console. So it would be nice if:
1) pdfcrack sends output to standard output instead of console, or
2) there's an option to specify log file so pdfcrack could send result to this file as well as to the screen.

Of course, such option isn't essential and I could live without it.

If you are wondering why I need such option, one of the reasons is to keep track of progress, and in case of crash, I know where to continue without restarting over start from zero. My next feature request is about that.

In linux you can write and watch the logfile :

$ pdfcrack myfile.pdf > mylogfile.txt &
$ tail -f mylogfile.txt
