Question

Will my windows-7, command prompt allow me to filter memory logcat messages for my application.

If this is possible,how do i filter messages.

I tried this adb shell logcat | grep pid > “path to output file”

Thanks in advance!

When you wrote the code to print log messages, you have the log tag, which you can grep for.

For instance,

private static final String TAG = "applog";
....
{
    Log.e(TAG, "this is a log");
}

To see these messages, type adb logcat | grep 'applog'
Also, if you have multiple different log tags, you can use the command adb logcat | grep 'tagone\|tagtwo'

Hope that helps!
