Full Discussion: Matching command scroll - ksh
Operating Systems AIX Matching command scroll - ksh Post 302425272 by juredd1 on Thursday 27th of May 2010 01:59:26 PM

I have not always had 100% success with this and don't know the reasons why but it works way more than not.

If you don't have this set already, type

Code:
set -o vi

at the command prompt. I don't know the official term but this lets you scroll back through the command history.

Then type command below in two key strokes. Not both keys at the same time.

Code:
Esc k

This should recall the last command you executed from the command prompt.

If you just want to manually scroll though the command history hit
Code:
 n

for next.

Then if you want to search through the command history for something specific, like the last find command in stead of hitting "n" to scroll back though the list manually you would hit the forwardslash (/) and what specific value you are looking for like below.

Code:
root@foobar:/ $ /find

After typing the value simular to above hit enter and it should display the last "find" command that you executed. Then you would just keep hitting the letter "n" to display the next find command that you executed or possibly anyone else executed while logged in as that id if you happen to be using root.

Hope this helps.

locale::language

Locale::Language(3perl) 				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				   Locale::Language(3perl)

NAME

       Locale::Language - standard codes for language identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Language;

	  $lang = code2language('en');	      # $lang gets 'English'
	  $code = language2code('French');    # $code gets 'fr'

	  @codes   = all_language_codes();
	  @names   = all_language_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Language" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying languages, such as those as defined in ISO 639.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639 two-
       letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying languages. The ones currently supported are:

       alpha-2
	   This is the set of two-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639, such as 'he' for Hebrew.

	   This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_2".

	   This is the default code set.

       alpha-3
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) bibliographic codes from ISO 639, such as 'heb' for Hebrew.

	   This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_3".

       term
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) terminologic codes from ISO 639.

	   This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANG_TERM".

ROUTINES

       code2language ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       language2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       language_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_language_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_language_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::rename_language  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::add_language  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::delete_language  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::add_language_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Language::delete_language_alias	( NAME )
       Locale::Language::rename_language_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::add_language_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::delete_language_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes man page.
