/recordline

Usage:

/RECORDLINE [-lig] [-wworld] [-ttime] text


Records text into a history buffer. The "-l" option selects local history; "-i" selects input history; "-g" selects global history; and "-wworld" selects the history buffer for world. If none of the -ligw options are specified, -g is assumed. The timestamp of the recorded line will be the current time, unless overridden with "-ttime"; time is interpreted as a system time (e.g., seconds since 0:00:00 January 1 1970 GMT).

The text will not be echoed to the screen or saved in any log.

/Recordline can be combined with /quote to read a log file back into history. For example, if you had created a log with "/log -i input.log" in an earlier tf session, you could start a new tf session and use

/quote -dexec /recordline -i 'input.log

to restore that input history. That way, you could use the RECALLB, RECALLF, RECALLBEG, RECALLEND, SEARCHB, and SEARCHF (^P, ^N, ^[<, ^[>, ^[P, and ^[N) keys to recall lines you typed in the earlier session.

See: /recall, /quote, history
