Filtering the output from a display command

You can use one of the following methods to filter the output from a display command:
• Specify the | { begin | exclude | include } regular-expression option at the end of the command.
When the system pauses after displaying a screen of output, enter a forward slash (/), minus sign
•
(-), or plus sign (+), and a regular expression to filter subsequent output. The forward slash equals
the keyword begin, the minus sign equals the keyword exclude, and the plus sign equals the
keyword include.
The following definitions apply to the begin, exclude, and include keywords:
begin—Displays the first line that matches the specified regular expression and all lines that follow.
•
exclude—Displays all lines that do not match the specified regular expression.
•
• include—Displays all lines that match the specified regular expression.
A regular expression is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 256 characters that supports the special characters
in Table 6.

screen-length disable
Meaning
Matches the beginning of a line.
Matches the end of a line.
Matches any single character, such
as a single character, a special
character, and a blank.
Matches the preceding character or
character group zero or multiple
times.
Remarks
The default for a session depends on the setting
of the screen-length command in user interface
view. The default of the screen-length command
is pausing between screens of output and
displaying up to 24 lines on a screen.
This command is executed in user view and
takes effect only for the current session. When
you log in again to the device, the default is
restored.
Examples
"^user" matches all lines beginning with "user". A
line beginning with "Auser" is not matched.
"user$" matches lines ending with "user". A line
ending with "userA" is not matched.
".s" matches both "as" and "bs".
"zo*" matches "z" and "zoo", and "(zo)*" matches
"zo" and "zozo".
