Does that help ?

acutally, I try to execute the ps command two time and output to text file at the same line .

ps -o %cpu,%mem,lstart,args,comm,cputime,pid,rss,vsz -p 1

How can I do that ??

I am not sure whether I understand your question correct. Do you really want to have the output of ps twice and in one long line?
Then do:

ps -o %cpu,%mem,lstart,args,comm,cputime,pid,rss,vsz -p 1 | tee - | tr -d '\n' > output_ps

If you want to have the output of ps only once, remove | tee -

If you want to have the output of ps both on stdout and a file, do:

ps -o %cpu,%mem,lstart,args,comm,cputime,pid,rss,vsz -p 1 | tee -a output_ps

tee with the option -a appends to output_ps.
tee overwrites output_ps if the option -a is not used.
