How do I change the iRule editor from GNU nano to VI.
Hi Helen, if you are talking about the built-in editor for the tmsh command, you can switch between vi and nano with this tmsh command:
(tmos) modify cli preference editor vi
(tmos) save sys config
Or are you talking about the Windows iRule Editor? https://devcentral.f5.com/d/irule-editor-msi
If so, I don't think there's a way to change the editing mechanics of that.

NimbostratusOh great! I was referring to the built-in editor for the tmsh command. I wanted to be able to use a script to create and edit iRules and vi seems more amenable for this since I could combine my bsh/perl scripting with expect. I will definitely give it a try. Thank you very much.
