Search Results

It does and doesn't satisfy my needs. Everything works fine as is, I'd just prefer to assign -v|veras the only things that can initiate the search of the software version, not anything in $3. Again,...

Thank you, I will look into that now.

Code to reference for post:
[ $X ] && awk -vSRCH="$3" '/JUNOS/ && /boot/ && $5 ~ "^[[]" SRCH {sub (...);

I wanted to play more with this to make -vbe the actual command someone types to search...

It's easier for me to impose my will upon others (aka make them use -h) haha! I did pick up on that getopt/getopts loop from my digging around on the internet. Good thing it's not important and...

I decided to not go with -a|allbecause it's just completely against what the cverfunction is about. It's not very practical, and I don't think anyone would want to do it anyway. It was a thing to try...

No problem. I'm taking my work computer home for my weekend so I can spend more time researching this. Now that everything works, there's other little things I want to be able to add in that...

Forgot to add I tried that too and no luck.

("?"|"-h"|help)

clmbn-eng2.eng:~% cver ?
zsh: no matches found: ?

Ah yes, that's right! It's no biggie, I'd rather not go through the trouble of all of that. Everything works exactly as it needs to.

Here it is completed:

cver () {
X=""
case $1 in
("-b")...

No need to apologize! You've gone way above and beyond anything I ever expected.

I made the change you suggested and that works! I can search as specific as I want and every search returns...

Yeah, I'll tackle this tonight when I come in for my shift. For now, it's quitting time and I need rest. Thanks again!

Yeah, exactly like that. At minimum, they need to be able to search the first two digits and at max the whole thing. Searching only the first digit would be the equivalent of not using -v.

All...

I thought I could get away with not defining X="*"but that was the first thing I tried and it fails. So, without X="*", I get every single device (including ones I didn't specify) sorted by software...

I think I did that because I misunderstood how that part works. I did kind of rush through it earlier as my shift was ending. I see what you're saying now, and I'll give it a go when I go back to...

RudiC, you are just simply awesome!

I looked up that case-esacstatement to learn a little more about it and how it works. This is exactly what I was looking for!

Here's what I threw together...

Will do!

I've come up with a couple issues while trying to research and make this...

Both worked! I decide to opt for the shorter version. I think I tried sub (".*/", at one point, but didn't realize I needed a 2nd or even 3rd item in there for it to work. I was so close!

I can't...

Came back to playing with this. I found that just a plan old sortdoes the sort as I need. RudiC, I think you were trying to point me in that direction previously with your questions about why use...

-g because it sorts numerically, which I need based on the software version number. Older software versions need to be at the top of my list, which -g has also accomplished.

If this also works by...

So, I should have used sort -g instead? I tested with that and it worked too.

I know I can cd in and out as I need to. It's not that big of a deal, it's just something I wanted to accomplish with...

I used sort -k5 because I need it to sort by the 5th column from my print $5, which it does. Is there a better way of doing it?

Initially, I was doing cd into the directory and running the...

I definitely don't need the /show.version to appear. It doesn't hurt anything, I just prefer not to see it.

I don't fully understand what's going on in {sub (/[^\/]* .$/, "", FILENAME), so I don't...

I apologize, I had assumed FILENAME was something I could change. I went back through what you suggested before, kept FILENAME, fixed the sub string and everything displayed exactly how I wanted it....

awk '/JUNOS/ && /boot/ {print devices $5}' *cpe.domain.net/show.version

That gave me the list of software versions.

I see in this '/JUNOS/ && /boot/ how it replaces my grep from my original...

Alright, that allowed the script to run, however, it only gave me a list of the software versions without the device names.

I tried echo -n but it still gives me the output wrong. It puts a lot of the devices and their software version on the same line, but I still get lines where multiple devices show together on one...
