Feature request - add find command to export command

RouterOS General
1

Hi, We use redundant ipsec solution using RB and it works good enough. But it is hard to add or change configs at 2 or 3 routers. Because each router has it`s own specific configurations. So we need to do intelligent config sync between routers. If RoS can export specific commented configuration to file. We can fetch it and import those only needed configs. I believe it will be very useful feature for MT lovers. Who with me?

[admin@MainRouter] > /export [find where comment~"notdefaultconf"] file=example;

[admin@BackupRouter] > /tool fetch address=x.x.x.x src-path="example.rsc" mode=ftp user="admin" password="";
[admin@BackupRouter] > /ip firewall filter remove [find where comment~"notdefaultconf"];
[admin@BackupRouter] > /import file-name=example.rsc;

etc…

this used to work in older versions and they removed the ability to do it… i asked for it to be added back but i think they didnt find it useful. I would love to have it back again.

Really? I don`t understand why MT removed their feature. I think feature need to add but not remove.

me too, i couldn’t export several line configuration. RouterOS V5.8.

what version was it? I cannot find one, where it is.

Only thing i found was that was removed from (last seen in 2.9.x) was

 from=""

argument that where weird

You can no longer use ‘from=’ command in export… I would love to have that available again.
