Junos cli regex requirement

Question

Hi I have seen someone do this a while back but for the life of me cant figure out the quick way to match on multiple strings easily.

objective is to display any lines of config that matches either abc or xyz

e.g show conf | match 'abc||xyz' ( <--this line obviously doesn't work in Junos )

Answer 1

It's just slightly different syntax, if you're trying to match lines containing specific strings, you'd use:

show configuration | match "abc|xyz"
