I am running a program called stm. I want to save only those stderr messages that contain the text "ERROR" in a text file. I also want the messages on the console.
How do I do that in bash?

See Question&Answers more detail:osUse the following pipeline if only messages containing ERROR
should be displayed on the console (stderr):
stm |& grep ERROR | tee -a /path/to/logfile
Use the following command if all messages should be displayed on the console (stderr):
stm |& tee /dev/stderr | grep ERROR >> /path/to/logfile
Edit: Versions without connecting standard output and standard error:
stm 2> >( grep --line-buffered ERROR | tee -a /path/to/logfile >&2 )
stm 2> >( tee /dev/stderr | grep --line-buffered ERROR >> /path/to/logfile )
