Filtering show Command Outputs Filter the output of a show command to display specific information by adding | [except | find | grep | no-more | save] specified_text after the command. The variable specified_text is the text for which you are filtering and it IS case sensitive unless you use the ignore-case sub-option. The grep command accepts an ignore-case sub-option that forces the search to be case-insensitive. For example, the commands: • show run | grep Ethernet returns a search result with instances containing a capitalized "Ethernet," such as interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/0. • show run | grep ethernet would not return that search result because it only searches for instances containing a non-capitalized "ethernet." Executing the show run | grep Ethernet ignore-case command would return instances containing both "Ethernet" and "ethernet." • grep displays only the lines containing specified text. Figure 3-9 shows this command used in combination with the do show stack-unit all stack-ports pfc details | grep 0 command. Configuration Fundamentals | 15

Command History
FTOS maintains a history of previously-entered commands for each mode. For example:
When you are in EXEC mode, the UP and DOWN arrow keys display the previously-entered EXEC
mode commands.
When you are in CONFIGURATION mode, the UP or DOWN arrows keys recall the
previously-entered CONFIGURATION mode commands.
Filtering show Command Outputs
Filter the output of a
show
command to display specific information by adding
|
[except
|
find
|
grep | no-more
| save]
specified_text
after the command. The variable
specified_text
is the text for which you are filtering and
it IS case sensitive unless you use the
ignore-case
sub-option.
The
grep
command accepts an
ignore-case
sub-option that forces the search to be case-
in
sensitive. For
example, the commands:
show run | grep Ethernet
returns a search result with instances containing a capitalized “Ethernet,” such
as
interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/0.
show run | grep ethernet
would not return that search result because it only searches for instances
containing a non-capitalized “ethernet.”
Executing the
show run | grep Ethernet ignore-case
command would return instances containing both
“Ethernet” and “ethernet.”
grep
displays only the lines containing specified text.
Figure 3-9
shows this command used in
combination with the
do show stack-unit all stack-ports pfc details | grep 0
command.
CNTL-R
Re-enters the previous command.
CNTL-U
Deletes the line.
CNTL-W
Deletes the previous word.
CNTL-X
Deletes the line.
CNTL-Z
Ends continuous scrolling of command outputs.
Esc B
Moves the cursor back one word.
Esc
F
Moves the cursor forward one word.
Esc
D
Deletes all characters from the cursor to the end of the word.
