Method Detail

handleHistory

public String handleHistory(String answer)

Handle processing of the command history. This gives some csh like commands and records the commands given. Nice side effect is the possibility to write the history to disk and to use this later as input so that testing can be scripted. Commands are:

• !! : repeat the last action
• !? : show the history
• !h : show history help
• !nnn : repeat history item with number nnn
• !w file : write the history to the file file
• !dnnn : delete the history item with number nnn

Parameters:

answer - the input given on the command line

Returns:

a command or '!' if no command substitution from the history was possible.
