Introduction

Parsergen is capable of parsing both tabular and non-tabular “show” command output once the user properly teaches it how. It is also capable of parsing a mixture of tabular and non-tabular show command output.

• In the case of tabular parsing, the user needs to provide the column titles in order to allow the table to be automatically parsed, check tabular parsing for details.

• In the case of non-tabular parsing, the user can provide parsing instructions to parsergen by using a convenient human-readable Core documentation that parsergen uses to synthesize the regular expressions it needs to parse the data check non-tabular parsing for details.

Note

The user also has the option to create their own regular expression input manually rather than using the markup syntax (see extend for details).
