Command History

Modification
11.3 AA
The more command was introduced.
12.0(1)T
This extension of the more command was introduced.
Usage Guidelines
The regular-expression argument is case sensitive and allows for complex matching requirements.
You can specify a new search at any --More-- prompt. To search the remaining output of the more
command, use the following command at the --More-- prompt:
/regular-expression
When output volume is large, the search can produce long lists of output. To interrupt the output, press
Ctrl-^ (Ctrl-Shift-6) or Ctrl-Z.
Because prior output is not saved, you cannot search or filter backward through prior output.
Examples
The following is partial sample output of the more nvram:startup-config | exclude command. The use
of | exclude service in the command specifies a filter that excludes lines that contain the regular
expression “service.” At the --More-- prompt, the user searches for the regular expression “Dialer1,”
which continues filtered output with the first line that contains “Dialer1.”
