Solved: Filtering for ?

vancamt76 · ‎08-02-2010

I am trying to filter the command "show ip bgp" to include only routes learned through redistribution so I have tried to filter based on routes that contain a path of ?. My question is: how do you filter for the question mark without it displaying a help command? Is there a wildcard that will ignore the ? as a help indicator and interpret it as text?

It's a number of keystrokes ie. "sh ip bgp | include" followed by

1) a backslash (to make the ? literal text)

2) ctrl-v ie. the control key + the v key pressed at the same time

3) then the question mark

Hello,

It may be possible with the regexp or quote-regexp options available with 'show ip bgp'
