'grep' an output?

Tue Feb 13, 2007 11:36 pm

This is what I'm attempting to do:

/ip arp pr | grep aaa.bbb.ccc

how do I do this in mikrotik syntax? :?

Nevermind, found my answer here: http://forum.mikrotik.com//viewtopic.ph ... light=grep

I found it easier to do a "pr file=abc" and ftp the file to a linux box and run cat abc | grep expression

I too second a similar implementation of grep! :)

Me too. MT has to keep in mind that not everybody is a programmer. In stressful support situation, an easier and a more efficient powerful CLI matters more.

I've found the way below, I think could help anyone.

e.g:
ip arp print where address=192.168.10.1

Or

ip arp print where mac-address=00:00:00:00:00:01

Just a quick aside, but there is no need to cat the file and pipe it to grep on any Unix/Linux variant I've ever seen. You can simply use: grep expression abc

So: grep 00:aa:15:aa:aa:aa myfilename will work without problems and save you some typing.

Of course it is required in order to earn the "useless use of cat award".

I was looking for the answer but only find this thread. After looking at the scripting wiki, I found this out.

/ip addr pr where address~"aaa.bbb.ccc"
