An event designator is a reference to a command line entry in the history list. Unless the reference is absolute, events are relative to the current position in the history list. | |||
;! | |||
:Start a history substitution, except when followed by a blank, newline, carriage return, = or ( (when the extglob shell option is enabled using the shopt builtin). | |||
;!n | |||
:Refer to command line n. | |||
;!-n | |||
:Refer to the current command minus n. | |||
;!! | |||
:Refer to the previous command. This is a synonym for `!-1'. | |||
;!string | |||
:Refer to the most recent command preceding the current position in the history list starting with string. | |||
;!?string<nowiki>[?]</nowiki> | |||
:Refer to the most recent command preceding the current position in the history list containing string. The trailing ? may be omitted if string is followed immediately by a newline. If string is missing, the string from the most recent search is used; it is an error if there is no previous search string. | |||
;^string1^string2^ | |||
:Quick substitution. Repeat the previous command, replacing string1 with string2. Equivalent to ``!!:s^string1^string2^'' (see Modifiers below). | |||
