Using the Pipe ( | ) Symbol When Entering Commands

You can filter output by adding the | (pipe) symbol when you enter a command. For example, you can use the pipe symbol after show configuration:

user@host> show configuration ?
Possible completions:
  <[Enter]>            Execute this command
> interfaces           Interfaces on the SDX platform
> policies             Policy configuration
> redirect-server      Redirect server properties
> routing-options      Protocol-independent routing option configuration
> services             Service configuration
> shared               Shared configuration
> slot                 Component configuration
> snmp                 SNMP agent
> subscribers          Subscriber and subscription configuration
> system               System parameters
|                    Pipe through a command

The following example lists the filters that can be used with the pipe symbol:

user@host> show configuration | ?
Possible completions:
  count                Count occurrences
  display              Show additional kinds of information
  except               Show only text that does not match a pattern
  find                 Search for first occurrence of the pattern
  last                 Display end of output only
  match                Show only text that does match a pattern
  no-more              Do not paginate output
  save                 Save output text to file

You can enter any of the pipe filters in conjunction. For example:

user@host> command | match regular-expression | save filename

See Pipe Filter Functions for a description of each type of filter.

NOTE: This section describes only the filters that can be used for operational mode command output. For information about filters that can be used in configuration mode, see the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.
