Pipe/Match

The 7705 SAR supports the pipe/match (...| match) feature to search one or more files for a specified character string or pattern.

Match syntax:

match pattern context {parents | children | all} [ignore-case] [max-count lines-count] [expression]

match pattern [ignore-case] [invert-match] [pre-lines pre-lines] [post-lines lines-count] [max-count lines-count] [expression]

where:

pattern: a string or regular expression (maximum 200 characters)

context: displays the context associated with the matching line

parents: displays the parent context information

children: displays the child context information

all: displays both parent and child context information

ignore-case: ignores the case in the string (uppercase or lowercase)

max-count lines-count: displays the matching lines, up to the specified number (1 to 2147483647)

expression: the pattern is interpreted as a regular expression

invert-match: displays all the lines that do not contain the string specified in pattern

pre-lines pre-lines: displays the lines before the matching line, up to the specified number (0 to 100)

post-lines lines-count: displays the lines after the matching line, up to the specified number (1 to 2147483647)

For example:

*A:NOK-12# show service sap-using | match 1/1 pre-lines 10

Table: Pipe/Match Characters describes regular expression symbols and interpretation (similar to what is used for route policy regexp matching).

Table: Pipe/Match Characters
String	Description
.	Matches any single character
[ ]	Matches a single character with what is contained within the brackets [abc] matches ‟a”, ‟b”, or ‟c” [a-z] matches any lowercase letter [A-Z] matches any uppercase letter [0-9] matches any number
[^ ]	Matches a single character with what is not contained within the brackets [^abc] matches any character other than ‟a”, ‟b”, or ‟c” [^a-z] matches any single character that is not a lowercase letter
^	Matches the start of the line (or any line, when applied in multiline mode)
$	Matches the end of the line (or any line, when applied in multiline mode)
()	Defines a ‟marked subexpression” Every matched instance is available to the next command as a variable
*	A single character expression followed by ‟*” matches zero or more copies of the expression
{m,n}	Matches at least `m` and at most `n` repetitions of the term
{m}	Matches exactly `m` repetitions of the term
{m,}	Matches `m` or more repetitions of the term
?	The preceding item is optional and matched at most once
+	The preceding item is matched one or more times
-	Used between start and end of a range
\	An escape character to indicate that the following character is a match criterion and not a grouping delimiter
