NCM Configuration Dump - Line numbers

Folks,

As an engineer i would like to be able to use the online NCM configuration dumps as a source for taking configlets/sections of code that can be reused and edited elsewhere. Unfortunately i am unable to do so because of the line numbers on the left hand side of the web page. Can we have these removed as it it requires me to either edit large configlets in notepad (to remove the line numbers) or i have to log onto the device and then copy from the live configuration directly (reducing as a result, the usefulness of the dumps). Furthermore there seems to be a new line character in the dump which affects the exporting of the dump, can we also have this removed please? I have used dumps in this way in Voyence in the past and it is very handy option.

If you click edit in the top right hand corner of the resource after you've opened a config it has a line numbers tick box, this removes the line numbers.

Excellent, thanks. Can anything be done about the second issue i.e. the new line characters that are hidden??

Hi Willc--

I'll mark this for the PM to review as well.

WillC - I'm not sure what new line character you mean? I just tried to do this and had no problem pasting it into notepad. Can you tell me a little more?

Hey Christineb/MarieB,

I did a bit of playing with this since your message, as i was curious as to how you were not seeing what i was seeing. It seems the issue that i have is only when you inbed the NCM configurations into the nodes NPM view (Last 5 Configurations section). When i copy the config directly from NCM i get the following:

no logging console

But when i copy the configuration from the nodes NPM view, which is where i would hope to do it from i get the following (notice the new line characters)

For short configlets this is not a big deal but when you are dealing with a hundred lines of config, it is or when you wish to perform a configuration comparison its a big issue. When i view either configuration on the NPM/NCM portals they both look exactly the same, its only when i copy the configuration to notepad, that i see the issue on the NPM copy.
