Running config question

Happy Black Friday:
So I was looking in my running config for something (can't remember) and a question popped into my head: For each one of the exclamation points, is there a specific line of output that maps to the location, and if so, can you remove those exclamation points if you do not have the configuration enable/set up that maps to that location? I google this but I guess It either doesn't exist or I am not wording my question correctly.
Thanks,

Not sure about that but on a different note, learned this yesterday

Allows you to work with a remote user to find exact portion of the config, or allows you to look at a changed config easier.
and also this one, so it scrolls off the screen for easy copy, instead of page breaks....

This is good. Look at lines 1,6,8,11-12,15-16, and 18-21. Is there a way to know what exactly matches up to the position? Like you see how line 2 says version 12.4, I assuming in most ios' there is a line of code that says Display version number at position (or line ) 2. I want to know like if there is away to limit what you see to only the lines with information on them. Like if I have nothing on positions (or lines) 18-21 why should I have to see them? Can't I just cut them out of view?
I also want to know what positions (or lines) line up with what displayed stat or configuration item.
Take a look at my running config
There are a large amount of lines that are just blank I would like to know what fills them.
Also something interesting to note about that command is that it only numbers the stuff after "current configuration". Interesting.
IDK maybe I am not making sense, I have been listening to dethklok all morning lol.
sh run all
Cuz I have a tiny screen Im working on. And what do you mean they don't map to another location?
all the config file is a text file that gets submitted to the parser so the parser can input it all during boot up and when you enter config mode. If you have a tiny screen why are you looking at the whole config why not just grep only the stuff you need
you da man.....

If I could give you rep, I would. That is EXACTLY what I meant.
Dead on. I knew it had to be some kind of pipe modifier but I don't think I would have found it anytime soon.
When I log in to my router, I am going to set that command to run using the autocommand command. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
At the time I was looking at several things and rather than just run several commands, I needed to see the whole running config.

show run int <interface number>
ex, sh run int fa0/1
interface FastEthernet0/1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip virtual-reassembly
ip route-cache flow
duplex auto
speed auto
end
Allows you to see just the configuration for a relevant interface
show interface description
Shows the configured descriptions of all interfaces
dorne#sh int description
Interface Status Protocol Description
Fa0/0 up up Vlan2 Gateway
Se0/0 down down LabUplink
Fa0/1 up up Vlan3 Gateway
Fa1/0 up up ComcastUplink
And of course, these can be combined with the include and exclude pipes. For example, on our aggregate switches.. they take 45 switches each, and ofttimes the only thing I know is the name of the access layer switch. So if I need to add a vlan to a trunk for an access switch, and I know the name of the access switch, I could do the following -
sh int description | include access01 (where access01 would be the name of the switch in the description)
agg2.atl#sh int description | include access023
GigabitEthernet 0/23 YES up up access023.atl:6.3.9
That would tell me which port I need to edit to add the vlan to the trunk
sh run | sec is awesome
I use this command everyday to find the names of ints that relate to various tunnels. I do that so I can find the physical port that the tunnel rides on, if the log file is to big of a pain to parse through. I also use it to find cids so I can call provides and let em know whats up.
