Thanks

I'm kinda partial to Mwgood's idea with the pipe. If all your looking for is trunk associations and nothing more, its a good command.

Yup, the pipe-function is one of those quirky reminders of the UNIX roots of the IOS. It was kind of funny, I felt pretty comfortable on the IOS command-line, since I studied Linux+ right before moving on to CCNA. Searching and sorting tricks like this make life a lot easier.

stupid question but how do i put in a pipe character??? what key stroke combination?

Netstudent

It should be right below your backspace key buddy. It has 2 little vertical tick marks and a backslash. It requires the shift key combination like any other subcharacter.
