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. -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-owner AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com [mailto:cygwin-owner AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com]On Behalf Of alex Sent: Friday, February 19, 1999 6:11 PM To: cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com Subject: Any shell has the following behavior 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 -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
