In addition, you can re-execute a command by entering an exclamation point (
!
) followed by
the first character(s) of the most recently executed command. In the example at the begin-
ning of this section, entering
!vim
would re-execute the
vimcvl
command. Entering
!vi
however, would re-execute the
vivl
command because it is the most recently executed
command beginning with
vi
.
You can also re-execute the most recently executed command containing a string of charac-
ters by entering an exclamation point and a question mark (
!?
), followed by the string of
characters, and an optional question mark (
?
) which acts as a “wild card.” In the example at
the beginning of this section, entering
!?lan?
at the system prompt would re-execute the
vlan
command. Entering
!?la?
however, would re-execute the
xlat
command because it is the most recently executed
command containing
la
.
Commands in the history buffer can be modified by adding a parameter, when it is applica-
ble. For example, if you entered
!7 3/1
in the example at the beginning of this section you would execute the command
vivl 3/1
.
