Pattern Matching When Using the Show Command
The pattern matching option with the show command provides the ability to
do searches for specific text. Selected portions of the output are displayed
depending on the parameters chosen.
Syntax: show < command option > | <include | exclude | begin > <regular
expression>
Use matching pattern searches to display selected portions of
the output from a
show
command. There is no limit to the
number of characters that can be matched. Only regular
expressions are permitted; symbols such as the asterisk
cannot be substituted to perform more general matching.
include
Only the lines that contain the matching pattern are
displayed in the output.
exclude : Only the lines that contain the matching pattern are
not displayed in the output.
begin:
The display of the output begins with the line that
contains the matching pattern.
N o t e
Pattern matching is case-sensitive.
Below are examples of what portions of the running config file display
depending on the option chosen.
ProCurve(config)# show run | include ipv6
ipv6 enable
ipv6 enable
Displays only lines that contain “ipv6”.
ipv6 access-list "EH-01"
ProCurve(config)#
