CLI Magic: Using command history in the bash shell (Linux.com)CLI Magic: Using command history in the bash shell (Linux.com)Posted Jul 4, 2006 14:39 UTC (Tue) by gjmarter (subscriber, #5777)Parent article: CLI Magic: Using command history in the bash shell (Linux.com)
I have a command called showcmd which is implemented as follows:
history | grep "$1" | grep -v showcmd | sort -r -k 2 | uniq -f 1 | sort -n | tail
I believe it only works in bash. This allows me to quickly find the most recent commands matching a pattern without repeats.
Also if the command that I want is a small variation of one of those commands then M-^ allows me to edit the line in the shell as if it had been typed it or arrowed back to.
