save current config in a file in extreme switch

we have summit X460-24t switch

usually I telnet to it and run
show config
log the contents of telnet session to a file
The problem is when screen fills up I get 'press space to continue or q to quit' , then I have to press space .
Is there a better way to get current config ?

Thanks.

Below are some more information in using the above pipe character in Exos:

In ExtremeXOS software, the resulting command is as follows:show | {include | exclude | begin}

----show State the command. For example: show ports. (This is
followed by the vertical bar (|) when used as the pipe
character.)

----include Display the lines that match the regular expression.

----exclude Do not display the lines that match the regular expression.

----begin Display all the lines starting with the first line that matches
the regular expression.

----regexp The regular expression to match.
• Regular expressions are case-sensitive.
• Special characters in regular expressions such as [ ], ?,
and * have special significance to the Linux shell and it is
therefore common to specify your regular expression in
quotes to protect it from the shell.

show configuration | include "tagged"

P.S: the word mentioned after the include for which you want to grep is case sensitive.

you said about using pipe character.
how ?
suppose I want all lines from config containig word tagged
show config | "tagged"

Hi Sumeer

Yes. You are right. This option you can use if the switches are managed by Netsight or Extreme Management Center.

http://documentation.extremenetworks.com/netsight/7.0/9034986-01_EMC_7.0_EMC.pdf

But I suppose you dont use Netsight in your case.

Can I take backup of switch-config on desktop using this ?
