HDT - Apr 2011 - Filtering feature dump_filter

Good morning,

Now that hdt is capable of dumping system information it would be nice if there
was some sort of filtering system which filters out unwanted information prior
to dumping output.
For example one could add the command:
append nomenu auto=dump mac_address serial_number bios_version;
And ultimately dumping output to a plain text file like:
mac_address : 00:11:22:33:44
serial_number : abc123
bios_version : v03


Would this be possible?

Hey Nick,

The number of dumpable items are pretty huge and today I do an explicit
export of each one.

I have to think about it but making the association between an item you
mention and its real value isn't that easy.

Why does parsing the actual output is a problem ? I really need to
understand the limitations you face to propose a good solution.

Erwan,
