By commands, I meant the parts separated by semicolons. I ran it using
bash and it only redirected the part after the last semicolon. i.e. I got
"</table>" in my file while the rest went to stdout.

I could have done it with semicolons to make it one "command" (using your
meaning for the word) - I didn't simply for layout. If you prefer:

echo "<table>" > nmap-out.xls ; \
grep "^[0-9*]" nmap-out | awk '{print "<tr><td>" $1 \
"</td><td>" $2 "</td><td>" $3 "</td></tr>"}' nmap-out.xls ; \
echo "</table>" >> nmap-out.xls

Now it's one "command" that still sends all output to the same file using
my version of bash... :-)
