how to retrieve history
Thanks for your reply,
but the fc -l command works similarly to the history command.
once someone runs history -c, all the entries in the history file are deleted. This is why I need to write my own history script that runs in the background, or an easier solution would be to run a script that saves the entries in the history file in another file before erasing the history file.
Writing the script is trivial, what is not trivial to me is triggering the script when the history -c command is run.
Anyone has an idea how to do that ?

Can I do it like this?
if (strcmp(argv, "history")==0)
{
argv = "10";
execvp(argc,argv);
}
actually, it doesn't work,
How can I modify it?
Thanks (17 Replies)

devel::repl::plugin::readlinehistory
Devel::REPL::Plugin::ReadLineHistory(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Devel::REPL::Plugin::ReadLineHistory(3pm)
NAME
Devel::REPL::Plugin::ReadLineHistory - Integrate history with the facilities provided by Term::ReadLine
DESCRIPTION
This plugin enables loading and saving command line history from a file as well has history expansion of previous commands using the
!-syntax a la bash.
By default, history expansion is enabled with this plugin when using Term::ReadLine::Gnu. That means that "loose" '!' characters will be
treated as history events which may not be what you wish.
To avoid this, you need to quote the '!' with '':
my $var = "foo!";
or place the arguments in single quotes---but enable the "Term::ReadLine" attribute "history_quotes_inhibit_expansion":
$_REPL->term->Attribs->{history_quotes_inhibit_expansion} = 1;
my $var = 'foo!';
and to disable history expansion from GNU readline/history do
$_REPL->term->Attribs->{do_expand} = 0;
CONFLICTS
Note that Term::ReadLine::Perl does not support a history expansion method. In that case, you may wish to use the Devel::REPL History
plugin which provides similar functions. Work is underway to make use of either History or ReadLineHistory consistent for expansion with
either the Term::ReadLine::Gnu support or Term::ReadLine::Perl.
