Reading and changing CIW input line

PatrikOsgnach

Hello,

are there any functions that allows me to know what is currently typed on the input line of CIW and change it, eventually? My goal is to write an autocompletion script.

As an example, if I type 'a' and press Ctrl+Up I want the input line to be substituted with the latest line that begins with an 'a' character.

Best regards,

Patrik

  • Hi Pratik,

    Here is a small code which might be helpful.
    Have a look

    CDSLOG = "/xxx/xxx/cdslog/CDS.log" ; cds log file path. you can give actual cds.log file path of yours.
    procedure(searchCommand(CDSLOG)
    prog((commandLists inport)
    system(sprintf(nil "cp -rf %s %s_temp" CDSLOG CDSLOG)) ; create a local copy of the cds log file as <old file name _temp>
    CDSLOG = strcat(CDSLOG "_temp")
    inport = infile(CDSLOG)
    while(gets(line inport)
    if(substring( car(parseString(line "\n")) 2 1) == "i" then ; to check the only lines which are typed or called in CIW
    commandLists = append1(commandLists substring( car(parseString(line "\n")) 4))
    );if
    );while
    close(inport)
    return(commandLists)
    );prog
    );procedure

    You can set the bindkey with UP arrow for the function searchCommand(CDSLOG)
    Finally, commandLists will return a list which will have all the commands which were entered in the CIW.
    Now you can play with this list
    1. You can create a gui to pop up the list of the commands
    2. You can limit the length of the list
    3. You can filter some of the commands according to your requirement
    4. You can reverse the list
    .
    .
    .
    Hope it will help you.

    Thanks,
    Amit
