How To
Summary
To put HMC Command output onto multiple lines.
Objective
Many HMC commands produce output as a comma separated list.
Sometimes you’d like each expression on 1 line.
Maybe so that you can grep for something.
Or just so that it is easier to read.
Environment
The HMC Command Line
Steps
Use sed s/,/\\n/g
Compare this:
with this
hscroot@hmc14:~> lshmc -n | sed s/,/\\n/g | grep ipv4addr
ipv4addr_eth0=10.0.255.1
ipv4addr_eth1=9.137.62.30
ipv4addr_eth2=0.0.0.0
ipv4addr_eth3=0.0.0.0
I think that you will agree, the second format is far more readable.
I use this trick nearly every day.
