Troubleshooting: Diagnosing System Problems with Houston
The search capability can be a very useful tool for looking through log
files that are hundreds of pages long. If you are unfamiliar with regular
expressions, you can still use the "/" command to perform searches. To
perform a search, press the forward slash key, type in the string for
which you want to search, and then press the Enter key. Be sure not to
put a space between the forward slash and the text string unless you
want the space to be part of the search string.
Characters that are interpreted as special regular expression commands
include:
[]()\*.^$|+-
If you want to include one of these characters in your search string,
prefix it with a backslash (\). For example, to search for "exit.", enter the
command "/exit\." and press the Enter key. If no occurrences of the
search string can be found in the output, the current page of the output is
still displayed. Occurrences of a search string in the output display page
by page.
Press the "n" key and then the Enter key to display the next page
containing occurrences of the search string. Use "N" to display the
nearest previous page containing an occurrence. If no further pages exist
with the occurrences of the search string, the search wraps around to the
beginning or end of the output.
Remember that pressing the Enter key without entering an option
executes the previously executed command. Therefore, when scrolling
through occurrences of a search string, press "n" or "N" and Enter the
first time, and from then on just press Enter. If you want to look at the
very end of a long log file after you first have it displayed, use "-" to page
backwards (thus causing the very last page of output to display), and
then press Enter by itself to continue displaying pages in reverse order.
