Always like to have an example of a banner being parsed.

[h4ndzdatm0ld]

Hey Ken! The comments at the top of the config files, is that considered a banner here, not just comments? There is a system note command, but it just outputs like a normal str config line.

# mar/22/2023 17:44:57 by RouterOS 6.48.5
# software id =
#
#
#
/interface wireless security-profiles set [ find default=yes ] supplicant-identity=MikroTik
/ip address add address=172.31.255.30/30 interface=ether1 network=172.31.255.28
/ip dhcp-client add disabled=no interface=ether1
/system identity set name=R2
/system note set note="SOME CRAZY NOTE!"

[itdependsnetworks]

ok, perhaps simpleton of me to presume there is a banner :)

I do think it would be great to have a few options for "note", like how does it handle multi-line (is that supported), special characters, can you have a double quote in there, etc.. Think of ways to break it

[h4ndzdatm0ld]

@itdependsnetworks I added to the parsing tests to capture the lines that are children of the /system note set note=.. line. This is the exact input that went into the device is below. If a user inputs a string without adding \n the config export will handle it and add it for you, same with special chars. Device will just escape them when exporting config.

This is a \"System Note\" for a Mikrotik router.\n\
It includes double quotes (\") and special characters such as:\n\
@, #, $, %, ^, &, *, (, ), _, +, [, ], {, }, |, ;, ',', ., /, <, >, and ?.\n\
\n\
Remember to escape any special characters with a backslash (\\) when necessary.\n\
\n\
This is a multiline note with several lines of text.

and when doing a terse config export, the following output appears ->

[admin@ag1.123site.nwk.nj] /system note> export terse
# apr/01/2023 17:16:02 by RouterOS 6.48.5
# software id =
#
#
#
/system note set note="This is a \\\"System Note\\\" for a Mikrotik router.\\n\\\
    \nIt includes double quotes (\\\") and special characters such as:\\n\\\
    \n@, #, \$, %, ^, &, *, (, ), _, +, [, ], {, }, |, ;, ',', ., /, <, >, and \?.\\n\\\
    \n\\n\\\
    \nRemember to escape any special characters with a backslash (\\\\) when necessary.\\n\\\
    \n\\n\\\
    \nThis is a multiline note with several lines of text.\\n\\\
    \nWow, what a great example of a note to ensure proper parsing by NetUtils!"
[admin@ag1.123site.nwk.nj] /system note>

hope this helps and captures what you asked for, LMK.

In my mind, this line and the below should all be a single line without a parent. As an example I would not see the other lines as children of this parent.

look at:

netutils/tests/unit/mock/config/parser/base/cisco_ios/ios_full_sent.txt

Line 288 in 1312c08

banner exec ^C

and https://github.com/networktocode/netutils/blob/1312c08d58a74ebb63f36ea35d03bec7747628d0/tests/unit/mock/config/parser/base/cisco_ios/ios_full_received.py#LL360C34-L360C86

Agreed, I'd expect this to be one single line.

[h4ndzdatm0ld]

Right on, the more I looked at this, it makes sense to treat this like a banner since it does allow to display upon logging into the device. Made some changes, lmk what ya'll think. Single line.
