How to pipe stdout into another program when using debugger?

[njakob]

Hello!

I'm trying to pipe the standard output of the debugged application into another program while using gdb through VS code. More concretely, I'm trying to transform the output through jq.

This can be achieved directly with gdb:

$ gdb ./a.out
(gdb) run | jq

Is there a way through the launch.json configuration file to achieve the same?

I'm trying to redirect the debug console output to .txt or pipe | ，but I can't do not.
I try many methos like add args in launch.json

   "args": [
                "| tee -a ${workspaceFolder}/info.txt"
            ],

   "args": [
                " > ${workspaceFolder}/info.txt"
            ],

   "args": [
                " > ",
                "${workspaceFolder}/info.txt"
            ],

but all above ,do not work , can not see the info.txt file.
