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
on page 24 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 3/11 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 3/11 | include Internet
Internet address is 10.168.1.11/24, MTU 1518 bytes, encapsulation ethernet
Syntax: show-command | include 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 the Brocade
device.
device#show who | exclude closed
Console connections:

Syntax: show-command | exclude regular-expression
Displaying lines starting with a specified string
The following command filters the output of the show who command so it displays output starting with
the first line that contains the word "SSH". This command can be used to display information about SSH
connections to the Brocade device.
device#show who | begin SSH
SSH connections:
1 established, client ip address 10.168.9.210
7 seconds in idle
