Searching and filtering output from CLI commands

You can filter CLI output from show commands and at the --More-- prompt. You can search for individual characters, strings, or
construct complex regular expressions to filter the output.
Searching and filtering output from show commands
You can filter output from show commands to display lines containing a specified string, lines that do not contain a specified string, or
output starting with a line containing a specified string. The search string is a regular expression consisting of a single character or string
of characters. You can use special characters to construct complex regular expressions. Refer to
expressions on page 65 for information on special characters used with regular expressions.
Displaying lines containing a specified string
The following command filters the output of the show interface command for port 3/1 so it displays only lines containing the word
"Internet". This command can be used to display the IP address of the interface.
device# show interface e 3/1 | include Internet
Internet address is 192.168.1.11/24, MTU 1518 bytes, encapsulation ethernet
Syntax: include show-command | regular-expression
NOTE
The vertical bar (|) is part of the command.
Note that the regular expression specified as the search string is case sensitive. In the example above, a search string of "Internet" would
match the line containing the IP address, but a search string of "internet" would not.
Displaying lines that do not contain a specified string
The following command filters the output of the show who command so it displays only lines that do not contain the word "closed". This
command can be used to display open connections to an Extreme Networks device.
device# show who | exclude closed
Console connections:
