Filtering output information

Introduction

You can use regular expressions in display commands to filter output information.
The following methods are available for filtering output information:

Input the begin, exclude, or include keyword plus a regular expression in the display command to
filter the output information.

When the system displays the output information in multiple screens, use /, - or + plus a regular
expression to filter subsequent output information. / equals the keyword begin, - equals the

keyword exclude, and + equals the keyword include.

The following definitions apply to the begin, exclude, and include keywords:

begin: Displays the first line that matches the specified regular expression and all lines that follow.

exclude: Displays all lines that do not match the specified regular expression.

include: Displays all lines that match the specified regular expression.

A regular expression is a case sensitive string of 1 to 256 characters. It supports the following special
characters.

Character Meaning Remarks

^string

Starting sign. string appears only at
the beginning of a line.

For example, regular expression “^user” only
matches a string beginning with “user”, not

“Auser”.

string$

Ending sign. string appears only at
the end of a line.

For example, regular expression "user$” only
matches a string ending with “user”, not “userA”.

Matches any single character, such
as a single character, a special
character, and a blank.

For example, “s” matches both “as” and “bs”.

For example, “zo*” matches “z” and “zoo”;
“(zo)*” matches “zo” and “zozo”.
