2.7.7 Pipe/Match

The 7210 SAS devices support the pipe feature to search one or more files for a
specific character string or pattern.
Note: When using the pipe/match command the variables and attributes must be
spelled correctly. The attributes following the command and must come before the
expression/pattern. The following are examples of the pipe/match command to
complete different tasks:

Description
Commands should be formed in such a way that there is no context
change upon command completion. For example,
configure port 1/1/[1..10]
will attempt to change ten different contexts. When a range is specified
in the CLI, the commands are executed in a loop. On the first loop
execution, the command changes contexts, but the new context is no
longer valid for the second iteration of the range loop. A "Bad
Command" error is reported and the command aborts.
After entering a range in a CLI command, command and key
completion, which occurs by pressing the <Tab> or spacebar, may
cease to work. If the command line entered is correct and unambiguous,
the command works correctly; otherwise, an error is returned.
