Get-Process

$ Get-Process | Tee-Object -FilePath ${path\to\file}

try on your machine

The command "Get-Process" is a PowerShell cmdlet that retrieves information about running processes on a Windows operating system.

The pipe symbol (|) is used to pass the output of one command as input to another command. In this case, it is used to pass the output of "Get-Process" to the "Tee-Object" cmdlet.

The "Tee-Object" cmdlet is used to send the input to both the pipeline and a file. It allows you to continue using the output further in the pipeline while also saving it to a file.

The "-FilePath" parameter specifies the path and name of the file where the output will be saved. In the given command, "${path\to\file}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path and name of the desired file.

So, overall, the command "Get-Process | Tee-Object -FilePath ${path\to\file}" retrieves information about running processes and saves the output to a specified file, while also allowing further processing of the output in the pipeline.
