Bash supports this by means of forward and backward searching. Using the
emacs-like command line editing you can use ^S and ^R to start a search
prompt which will then find history lines that match the pattern you type.
Once the desired match is found, you can edit it or simply accept by hitting
return. Search behavior is the same as emacs in that repeated use of either
^S or ^R will find the next/previous match to the current pattern.

Hi,
    Is there any shell which the command line history function like 4DOS ?
In 4DOS, it will remember what you typed before and it will match the
command for you during you type. I know that there are many shell
support command line history but i can't find a shell which can match
the command for you.

Regards,
alex
