How to use gdb with input redirection?

In the Terminal, I have:

myapp < myfileinput

But if I want to use gdb,

gdb myapp < myfileinput

It didn't run correctly.

How to use gdb here?

Solution 
  • ~$ gdb <executable>

(gdb) run < input.txt

    This is doing the trick for me. Wondering if this was what you were looking for.
