[SOLVED] gdb input prompts

could someone explain how, when running gdb in -tui mode, can user input be entered when prompted in a program? Is it possible?

A program's input goes into the program. gdb is a program, so its input goes into gdb. Are you asking how to transfer data entered into gdb to some other program? If you are, then why?

I'm using gdb to try to evaluate a program which requires user input----eg:

Code:

printf("Please enter starting index: ");
scanf("%d", &startIndex);

when I run gdb on this program, I have no problem entering required values for the program to proceed, however, when I use gdb -tui, there doesn't seem to be an opportunity to allow user input. I'm asking if there is any way to accomplish this.

Redirect stdin from a file, a different keyboard, or the output of another program via a pipe.
