How to grep on gdb print

(gdb) print *this | grep

The "standard" way to achieve this is to use Meta-X gdb in emacs.

An alternative:

(gdb) set logging on
(gdb) print *this
(gdb) set logging off
(gdb) shell grep attribute gdb.txt

The patch mentioned by cnicutar sure looks attractive compared to the above. I am guessing the reason it (or its equivalent) was never submitted is that most GDB maintainers use emacs, and so don't have this problem in the first place.

You can use pipe command

>>> pipe maintenance info sections | grep .text
 [15]     0x5555555551c0->0x5555555554d5 at 0x000011c0: .text ...

>>> pipe maintenance info sections | grep .text | wc 
      1      10     100
