!
Executes an existing command again.
-num
executes a command that appears before the current command. For example, use
!-3 to execute the third command prior to the current one.
num
is the number of a command line. For example, use !2 to execute the second
command of the current FUP session.
string
is the first character or characters of a previous command. For example, use !DUP
$ to execute the most recent DUP command that begins with a volume name.
quoted
is a string enclosed in either single or double quotation marks. FUP searches every
character in the command buffer—not just the first characters—until it finds the
string. For example, use !“\MAUI” to execute the most recent command that
referenced the system \MAUI.
! Guidelines

If you use the ! command without a number or text string, FUP executes the last
command you entered again.

FUP displays the specified command before it is executed.

To display command line numbers or recent commands, use the FUP HISTORY
command.
! Examples

To immediately view the FUP command entered on line eight and execute it again:
-!8

To execute the command issued two commands prior to the current command:
-!-2

To execute the last FUP INFO command again:
-!INFO
