Viewing and managing the output from a display command effectively

You can use the following methods in combination to filter and manage the output from a display command:

• Numbering each output line from a display command

• Filtering the output from a display command

• Saving the output from a display command to a file

To use multiple measures to view and manage the output from a display command effectively, execute the following command in any view:

For example:

# Save the running configuration to a separate file named test.txt, with each line numbered.

<Sysname> display current-configuration | by-linenum > test.txt

# Append lines including snmp in the running configuration to the file test.txt.

<Sysname> display current-configuration | include snmp >> test.txt

# Display the first line that begins with user-group in the running configuration and all the following lines.

<Sysname> display current-configuration | by-linenum begin user-group
  114:  user-group system
  115-  #
  116-  return

// The colon (:) following a line number indicates that the line contains the string user-group. The hyphen (-) following a line number indicates that the line does not contain the string user-group.
