Re: How to access files (open/read/close) from gdb script ?

Since ALL the gdb testsuites are written in Tcl (that's what Expect uses, and that is consequently what dejagnu uses) this seems a particularly unfortunate place to be airing your prejudices.

You can launch any command from GDB using the "shell" command.

Just as a comment regarding TCL, I would personally use anything but
TCL. It's your choice: You can use bourne scripts, or even write a
program in C or Ada...
