Insert ? as parameter CLI command

[bej]

I cannot insert the question mark in a single line statement such as.

Ip as-path access-list 5 permit ^1 ?[0-5]$

I've been looking all over Cisco's website for the answer, but I cant find it. Thanks for resolving this problem.

Type Ctrl-v before you type ?. This tells the IOS that you use the ? as a character and not to get help information.

You can find this information in documents discussing regular expressions, such as the following:

Hope this helps,
