4.9 FC

Use FC to display edit a previously issued GGSCI command and then execute it again. Previous commands are stored in the memory buffer and can be displayed by issuing the HISTORY command (see HISTORY).

Displaying Previous Commands

Issuing FC without arguments displays the most recent command. Options enable you to execute any previous command by specifying its line number or a text substring. Previous commands can be edited only if they were issued during the current GGSCI session, because history is not maintained from one session to another.

Editing Commands

The FC command displays the specified command and then opens an editor with a prompt containing a blank line starting with two dots. To edit a command, use the space bar to position the cursor beneath the character in the displayed command where you want to begin editing, and then use one of the following arguments. Arguments are not case-sensitive and can be combined.

Table 4-3 FC Editor Commands

Argument	Description
i text	Inserts text. For example: GGSCI (SysA) 24> fc 9 GGSCI (SysA) 24> send mgr GGSCI (SysA) 24.. i childstatus GGSCI (SysA) 24> send mgr childstatus
r text	Replaces text. For example: GGSCI (SysA) 25> fc 9 GGSCI (SysA) 25> info mgr GGSCI (SysA) 25.. rextract extjd GGSCI (SysA) 25> info extract extjd
d	Deletes a character. To delete multiple characters, enter a d for each one. For example: GGSCI (SysA) 26> fc 10 GGSCI (SysA) 26> info extract extjd, detail GGSCI (SysA) 26.. dddddddd GGSCI (SysA) 26> info extract extjd
replacement text	Replaces the displayed command with the text that you enter on a one-for-one basis. For example: GGSCI (SysA) 26> fc 10 GGSCI (SysA) 26> info mgr GGSCI (SysA) 26.. extract extjd GGSCI (SysA) 26> info extract extjd

To execute the command, press Enter twice, once to exit the editor and once to issue the command. To cancel an edit, type a forward slash (/) twice.
