Capture and display STDOUT at the same time

I have the following code to capture and process the Run command output. How do I modify it such that the Run command window displays output and at the same time the output gets logged? Replacing @SW_HIDE with @SW_SHOW (or the equivalent) just shows a blank command window.

Something similar to the linux tee command which logs to file while it prints STDOUT.

$CurrentPID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & $CurrentLogCmd, "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

If Not ProcessWaitClose($CurrentPID,60) Then
    WriteLog("[Warning] Timed-out.Finding date in current hour raw log -" & $CurrentLogFileName)
    $F_LogWarningExist = 1
    Return $C_SUCCESS ; Take chances and proceed with parsing raw logs
EndIf

$CurrentOutput = StdoutRead($CurrentPID)

ConsoleWrite(_getDOSOutput('ipconfig /all') & @CRLF)

Func _getDOSOutput($command)
    Local $text = '', $Pid = Run('"' & @ComSpec & '" /c ' & $command, '', @SW_HIDE, 2 + 4)
    While 1
            $text &= StdoutRead($Pid, False, False)
            If @error Then ExitLoop
            Sleep(10)
    WEnd
    Return StringStripWS($text, 7)
EndFunc   ;==>_getDOSOutput

Maybe this helps you out.
