terminal - print brief column (formatting)

RouterOS General

Is the formatting of the print command using the print brief column command not supported any longer?

v 2.6

[admin@MikroTik] interface ethernet> print brief column=mtu,arp
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
  #    MTU   ARP
  0  R 1460  enabled
  1  R 1460  enabled
[admin@MikroTik] interface ethernet> print

v 6.12

[admin@MikroTik] > interface ethernet print brief column=mtu,arp
expected end of command (line 1 column 32)
[admin@MikroTik] >

A lot has changed since 2.6, this being just one.

If in doubt, press “?” or tab, in order to see all possible arguments for the command you’re typing.

While this doesn’t exactly resolve your issue, I had a similar problem of trying to print out just the mac-address of an interface. And as you found in v6.x the column printing was broken.

This command prints it but realize I need to specify a find query and it only accepts a single column

:put [get [find name=ether1] mac-address]

Hope that helps!
