Delete addresses objects in CLI

[mulbzh]

hello and sorry for my english,

I want in CLI mode delete all addresses objects that begin with particular name : 'Block-IP'

I know i can delete objects in config firewall address but how to do mass deletion with begin name ?

it is in config firewall address

thanks a lot

hi,

i dont think it's possible to do so in a mass way, meaning deleting all objects starting with Block-IP*, rather deleting them 1 by 1 .

from the GUI on the other hand you could do so by filtering the objects and then multiple selection.

i don't want to do it in GUI but only in CLI script because it will be script in automation use every week

[funkylicious]

if you script it, then do a show firewall address | grep Block-IP and then line by line do a delete of the object name found with it.

[mulbzh]

Ok, this commande works : show firewall address | grep Block-IP

but after how to delete line by line in CLI ?

[funkylicious]

after you get all the objects containing that string, e.g. Block-IP-1.1.1.1 , Block-IP-2.2.2.2 you would need to parse the output and for each line/object do a delete <> under config firewall address

[mulbzh]

i understand this but how to store data of show firewall address | grep Block-IP command before send to delete command ?

[funkylicious]

you save the output of the command in a list and then parse it line by line.

that's how i would do it.
