Pipe a command and using match regular expressions

L0 Member

Dear experts!

I'm trying to compile a match which matches the following regexp: (debug|monitor).(global|level|pcap|detail\.enable) but it seems like it does not support capturing groups. I've searched for a manual for the match command but struck out. 

 

The end game here is to use it to filter show system state to capture lines containing:

  • debug.global
  • debug.level
  • debug.pcap
  • monitor.detail.enable

Looks like capture lists is supported, ie. show system state | match debug.[glp] but capturing groups is what I need.

 

Does anyone here have a solution or tip?

 

Kind regards,

Patrik

Looks like you were already pretty close, you needed to escape the pipe. This seems to work for me:

 

 

show system state | match debug.[glp]\|monitor.detail.enable

 

 

More broadly, you could probably use although it gets a bit unwieldy after enough entries.

 

 

show system state | match debug.g\|debug.l\|debug.p\|monitor.detail.e

 

 

Good luck!

Thank you so much Greg.

They really need to improve their documentation in this part. And I need to improve my brain.

 

Can't believe I did not try that. 🙂
