If you're using a Unix-ish box, try using aclmaker.  Even if you never
edit ACLs with it, you'll still be able to do things like this:

  Router# [send telnet escape character to get to Unix prompt]
  Unixbox$ aclmaker cmd show ip bpg regexp ^70 | wc -l

Aclmaker lives at:

  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=25401

Hmm, you just got me thinking.  I could probably hack up a "filtered
router prompt" mode with aclmaker so that | characters get caught and
run local Unix commands instead of being sent to the router.  But it
would ruin your typing habits for the next time you end up on a router
without any smart intervening utilities like aclmaker.
