Filtering Logcat Logs on commandline

public static final TAG = "Legendry Eagle";

Issue: I want to see logs of "Legendry Eagle" from the commandline.

I tried:

 adb logcat -s "Legendry Eagle" 
 adb logcat -s <Legendry Eagle>

But Still it is not working.

adb logcat | grep "your tag"

will only display logs with "your tag"

If the standard adb logcat -s tagname doesn't work, you can always pipe the output of adb to find to filter what you need, something like

adb logcat | find "Legendry Eagle"

This passes the entire logcat to DOS find command, which in turn filters out rows containing Legendry Eagle string.

Assuming you are using Eagle as the logging tag, use this:

adb logcat Eagle:* *:s

as I understand the Eagle:* means to turn on all logs for the Eagle tag, and the *:s means to make all other tags silent

I personally find the eclipse logcat view much easier to use than the command line, it has different colors for different levels of logs, and you can create a filter and save it, it'll stay there forever until you delete that filter

Answer is very simple . Please remove space between two words and try again.

 public static final TAG = "LegendryEagle";
 adb logcat -s "LegendryEagle"

and see the logcat . You got your answer.

If you only want to show logcat for a specific TAG, do it like this:

adb logcat YourTAGHere:Priority *:S

The *:S is important, as it sets all other tags to silent. If I want to track only my MainActivity tag at Verbose level, the syntax would look like this.

adb logcat MainActivity:V *:S

Edit: I found no good way of filtering out tags with spaces. LegendryEagle works fine, but I was not able to filter out Legendry Eagle
