Controlling The Cli Output; Pausing Between Screens Of Output; Filtering The Output From A Display Command - HP 5830 Series Configuration Manual

Controlling the CLI output

This section describes the CLI output control features that help you quickly identify the desired output.

Pausing between screens of output

If the output is too long to fit on one screen, the system automatically pauses after displaying a screen. By
default, up to 24 lines can be displayed on a screen. To change the screen length, use the screen-length
screen-length command. For more information about this command, see Fundamentals Command
Reference. To control output, use keys in
Table 5 Keys for controlling output

Task
Disable pausing between screens
of output for the current session.

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 (+) plus 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.

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.
