Output filter for command-line entries

The command-line commands show, dir and ls generates large amounts of output. The filters allow you to sift out the information that is important for you from all the information.

To enable the filters, extend the commands to include the parameter "@", which initiates the following filter definition. The following operators apply to filter definitions:

Operator Description
(space) OR operator: The filter applies when one of the parameters occurs in the output
+ AND operator: The filter applies when the operand occurs in the output
- NOT operator: The filter applies when the operand does not occur in the output
" The output must exactly match the search filter

Any string combination can be used to specify the operands, such as the names of remote stations, protocols or ports. The filter then processes these data according to the rule of the operators used, in a similar way to Internet search engines.

Anmerkung: The filter enhances the preceding command one time only. If you invoke the command again without specifying a filter, the output appears unfiltered again.
Anmerkung: No filter is available for the following features:

The command show vpn displays all current VPN connections. The filter show vpn @ "sales_ger" reduces the display to the connections with a name containing the string "sales_ger" (i.e. sales representatives in Germany).

The command ls /Setup/IP-Router/IP-Routing-Table shows the parameters to be used for accessing configured networks or remote sites. The filter ls /Setup/IP-Router/IP-Routing-Table @ -"192.168." suppresses the display of stations in this private IP address range.
