Comment Delimiters
"string"
is a text string enclosed in quotes. The ! command displays and executes the most
recent command in the history buffer that contains the specified text string. The
command need not begin with the specified string.
Examples
1. The following ! command retrieves and executes command line number 13:
=! 13
=RESET DISKFILE
=
2. The following ! command retrieves and executes the last command in the history
buffer:
=!
=SET DISKFILE PERSISTENT ON
=
Comment Delimiters
Use two hyphens (--) to delimit comments within a command line. The comment can
appear anywhere within the command line but cannot be embedded within a word. In
addition, the comment should not contain a semicolon (;). Any part of a comment
following a semicolon is lost because the semicolon causes line termination.
Comments can also appear on their own line when delimited before and, optionally,
after with two hyphens.
--
(two hyphens) are the delimiters that separate the command from the comment.
any-phrase
is any phrase or descriptive remark that follows the delimiter. The phrase cannot
contain -- (two hyphens).
end-of-line
the carriage return is the end-of-line terminator. Alternately, the two hyphens
can be eliminated as delimiters if the end-of-line terminator is included after
your comment in any-phrase. However, the comment line must end with either
the delimiters or the end-of-line character.
-- any-phrase { -- | end-of-line }
