Output string to log file, then pipe to function as argument
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

So I am trying to echo a string out to a log file and also pass that echo'd string over to a function along with other arguments as well. I can't seem to figure out how to do it or find any answers on here. Here is what I have
#!/bin/bash
test()
INPUT=$(cat)
echo "IT WORKED $INPUT $1 $2"
echo "TEST2" > test.log | cat | test "Hi " "John"
My Output
IT WORKED Hi John
bash shell-script shell echo bash-functions

I tried working with tee as well, however I wasn't able to get it. Something likeecho "TEST2" | tee test.log > test "Hi " "Johndidn't work

The whole point ofteeis to have its standard output be a pipe. If you saytee (filename) > test …, that will create a file calledtest, which is not what you want. P.S. Put everything that you tried into the question.
