You could do this with the logging package. Set up the logger to log to the screen and to a file. You could split the files by log level or (I think) by using two different loggers.

For what you are doing this is probably overkill (Hugo's suggestion is simpler) but if you have output in many places in the file logging is a good solution. Also it lets you for example put debug messages in the file but not on screen.
