Searching and filtering output

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

“Using special

characters in regular expressions”

on page 14 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.

Brocade# show interface e 3/11 | include Internet

Internet address is 192.168.1.11/24, MTU 1518 bytes, encapsulation ethernet

Syntax: show-command | include regular-expression
