Editing and Reexecuting Previous Commands
If you enter an exclamation mark followed by a number, TACL displays and executes
the command with that number:
6> !4
6> history
1> who
2> fileinfo
3> view myfile
4> history
5> history
6> history
7>
If you enter an exclamation mark followed by text, TACL displays and executes the
most recent command that begins with that text:
7> !v
7> view myfile
8>
Editing and Reexecuting Previous Commands
If you enter the command FC, TACL displays the last command so that you can edit it:
8> fc
8> view myfile
8...
You can edit the displayed command (view myfile) with the commands D (delete),
I (insert), and R (replace). When you press Return, TACL displays the edited
command. You can continue to edit the command or press Return. When you press
Return without editing the command, TACL executes the command.
8> fc
8> view myfile
8.. dd
8> view file
8.. isrc
8> view srcfile
8.. r1
8> view srcfil1
8.. e1
8> view srcfile1
8...
The absence of a D, I, or R command is handled as an R command (last change in
the preceding example).
If you enter the FC command followed by a number, TACL displays the command with
that number so that you can edit it:
9> fc 2
9> fileinfo
9...
