This is just a feeler to see if there would be any interest in the following feature:
Now that we have tab completion within bconsole, an additional option has come to mind which you can see in various other CLI environments (IOS, *NIX shells): the ability to pipe the output of commands through a various set of filters. In the *NIX shell environment you can simply pipe the output of any program to 'grep' to filter the output. Cisco IOS allows you to do the same thing, along with the 'begin' option, which begins output after encountering the following token. I believe this would be a nice feature to have for bconsole. For example, if I want to see if particular files/directories were backed up for a job I could simply perform a '*list files jobid=999 | include filenameImLookingFor'. "include" could be interchangeable with "grep". I realize that I can accomplish the same thing with SQL queries or submit bconsole commands via a shell and filtering the output, but this still seems like it would streamline bconsole usage.
