Reading and changing CIW input line

PatrikOsgnach
PatrikOsgnach over 8 years ago

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 Patrik,

    Take a look at "history()" - it lists the previous n commands, so then you can do !number to repeat a numbered command. Hopefully this gets you closer to what you need?

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
