Using the pipe command on comware 7

[forde1208]

Hi Guys,

any help would be great.

When using some commands on a well known rival vendors switches, i can use the pipe command and multiple cirteria when carrying out the search - example: sh int | i down|0 packets input,|0 packets output,

It allows me to see what ports are down without any traffic inbound or outbound on the interface.

If I try a similar command on HPE comware 7, i get an error on the first space after the first pipe - example: dis int | i Input (total):  0 

the following error occurs when the first space is discovered  % Too many parameters found at '^' position.

am i missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Wow 80 plus views, is this a limitation within comware?  

any help grately appreciated.

Forde,

After the | include, if the search term has a space or other special character like the paren in it you need to quote it with a back slash.  So to do what you want, the Regular Expression would look like this...

disp interface | include "Input\ \(total\):\ \ 0"

For information on the Regular Expression support in Comware 7, check out the Comware Fundamentals Configuration Guide.  In the version I have the section is entitled as Filtering the output from a display command.

Regards,

David

Hi,

I think the alternation operator "|" as a special character in the regular expression argument to the  include command - works just fine.

Lets say I want "interface name", "Current State", "Input Total", and "output total" lines for all Gigabit interfaces.

Remember its a regular expression your include command takes as input. 

display interface | incl "^GigabitEthernet|^Current\ state|^\ Input\ \(total\)|^\ Output\ \(total\)"

First remember the statement needs to be within "-signs

Space and parathesis "(" and ")" needs to be escaped with a "\",

"^" means the beginning of a line.

The output is

[HP-5130-24G]display interface | incl "^GigabitEthernet|^Current\ state|^\ Input\ \(total\)|^\ Output\ \(total\)"

as one can see there are some things I haven't accounted for in my expression.

There is a BridgeAggregation interface which precedes the first GigabitEthernet - it is DOWN, and its counters are displayed differently compared to the GigabitEthernet.The BridgeAggregation "Input (total)" and Output (total) are not indented with a single space like it is on the GigabitEthernet... (wonder if this is intended)

Also there are several interfaces (at the end of the output) for which I get a mix of the Counters and State, but not the interface name itself - obvoiusly.

Gentlemen,

thank you for your time in helping me, much appreciated.
