How to redirect the telnet console logs to a file Linux

Question

I want to redirect the telnet console logs to a file in Linux.

For example:

telnet $someIp > someFile
#ls
#exit

I want the console logs to be saved in the filename someFile. I am using tcl for automating this. As of now, I am doing spawn telnet $someIp in tcl.

This will not capture the console logs and save it to a file.

Can this be done?

You can do it by using the tee command:

telnet $someIp | tee -a -i someFile
