- Overview: shell (csh, tcsh, bash)
remembers previous command lines.
Can edit interactively, but substitution is sometimes faster.
- Each command line has history number.
- Can recall command lines by history number or by string-matching.
- !identifier is replaced by part or all of
previous command line:
% !! ...substituted with previous command
% lpr !$ ...last argument of previous command
% !23 ...all of command 23
% lpr !23:$ ...last argument of command 23
% !vi ...all of the last vi command
% lpr !vi:$ ...last argument of last vi command
...and many more!
- ^old^new does quick substitution to previous command line:
% emasc /usr/local/src/foo/file.c
emasc: command not found.
% ^sc^cs
emacs /usr/local/src/foo/file.c
