Example: Using Global Replace in a Junos Configuration—Using the upto Option
Consider the hierarchy shown in Figure 1. The text string 010101 appears in three places: the description sections of ge-0/0/0, ge-0/0/0.0, and fe-0/0/1. These three instances are three objects. The following example shows how you can use the upto option to perform replacements in a JUNOS configuration:
Figure 1: Replacement by Object
An upto 2 option in the replace command converts 01 to 02 for two object instances. The objects under the main interfaces ge-0/0/0 and fe-0/0/1 will be replaced first (since these are siblings in the hierarchy level). Because of the upto 2 restriction, the replace command replaces patterns in the first and second instance in the hierarchy (siblings), but not the third instance (child of the first instance).
