XG Series User's Guide Chapter 2 Using the CLIUsing the CLI51Replacing command stringsBy entering a single-replacement specifier (:s) or all-replacement specifier (:gs) following a history specifier andreplacement specifier, you can replace the target string and re-execute the command string.A single-replacement specifier replaces the first matching string only, while an all-replacement specifier replaces allmatching strings.The replacement target string and replacement string are specified as with string replacement for the preceding command;however, arbitrary characters (@, #, %, &, ~, =, _, etc.) may be used as delimiters. You can successively enter a single-replacement specifier, all-replacement specifier, and display specifier.The table below lists specifiers and operations. This example uses "/" as a delimiter.(A: replacement target string, B: replacement string, C: additional string)A command execution example is shown below.z CommandCommand Operation:s/A/B/ Replace only the first instance of A with B and execute the command string.:ps/A/B/ Replace only the first instance of A with B and display the command string.:s/A/B/C Replace only the first instance of A with B, add C to the command string, and execute it.:ps/A/B/C Replace only the first instance of A with B, add C to the command string, and display it.:gs/A/B/ Replace all instances of A with B and execute the command string.:pgs/A/B/ Replace all instances of A with B and display the command string.:gs/A/B/C Replace all instances of A with B, add C to the command string, and execute it.:pgs/A/B/C Replace all instances of A with B, add C to the command string, and display it.:s/A// Delete only the first instance of A and execute the command string.:ps/A// Delete only the first instance of A and display the command string.:s/A//C Delete only the first instance of A, add C to the command string, and execute it.:ps/A//C Delete only the first instance of A, add C to the command string, and display it.:gs/A// Delete all instances of A and execute the command string.:pgs/A// Delete all instances of A and display the command string.:gs/A//C Delete all instances of A, add C to the command string, and execute it.:pgs/A//C Delete all instances of A, add C to the command string, and display it.:s/A1/B1/:gs/A2/B2/:p Replace only the first instance of A1 with B1, replace all instances of A2 with B2, and display thecommand string.# lan 0 ip address 192.168.0.1/24 3# !!:gs/0/1/:p (Replace all instances of 0 with 1 and display the command string.)lan 1 ip address 192.168.1.1/24 3# !!
