How to limit a result from a Universal Device Poller to specific text

All,

I am trying to find a way to determine how many sfp's a switch has. I figured out that I can use the 1.3.1.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.2 OID to get a physical description of the port. So if you do a show interface status, the last column on right will tell you if you have an SFP or not.

If the text is '1000BaseSX' or 'SFP-10Gbase-LR' or '1000BaseT' then it's an SFP. The problem is an SNMPWALK of the above OID table returns a value for every port. So what I'm trying to do is "grep" for only the text that is for SFP's. Does anybody know how I can filter results from a UDP?

So logically, I'm trying to return a value only if it's one of the 3 above, otherwise, don't list the result.

Below is an image of the result. I'm trying to only have the items with 1000BaseSX or 1000BaseT show up in the list. I don't want Port Container or any other text.

Any help would be great! Thanks!

The UNDP tool doesn't allow you to get any more granular than the OID, you can manipulate things at the presentation layer by playing around with things in a custom table or custom query resource, but those will come with their own problems, such as showing up even if the node doesn't have the relevant UNDP applied.
