fix history --delete regression The recent change to reconcile the history builtin command and function broke an undocumented behavior of `history --delete`. This change reinstates that behavior. It also adds an explicit `--exact` search mode for the `--search` and `--delete` subcommands. Fixes #3270

history ( -s | --search ) [ -t | --with-time ] [ -e | --exact | -p | --prefix | -c | --contains ] [ "search string"... ]
history ( -d | --delete ) [ -t | --with-time ] [ -e | --exact | -p | --prefix | -c | --contains ] "search string"...
fix the history function and man page The previous commit to add a `--with-timestamp` flag to the `history` command caused me to notice the history function didn't recognize the new long option. Neither did it recognize the short options for the builtin command. This change fixes both of those issues.

`history` is used to list, search and delete the history of commands used.
Adding history builtin
2012-06-05 04:24:42 +00:00
correct handling of `history` args This fixes several problems with how the builtin `history` command handles arguments. It now complains and refuses to do anything if the user specifies incompatible actions (e.g., `--search` and `--clear`). It also fixes a regression introduced by previous changes with regard to invocations that don't explicitly specify `--search` or a search term. Enhances the history man page to clarify the behavior of various options. This change is already far larger than I like so unit tests will be added in a separate commit. Fixes #3224. Note: This fixes only a couple problems with the interactive `history --delete` command in the `history` function. The main problem will be dealt with via issue #31.
2016-07-14 05:33:50 +00:00
The following commands are available:
- `-s` or `--search` returns history items matching the search string. If no search string is provided it returns all history items. This is the default operation if no other operation is specified. The `--contains` search option will be used if you don't specify a different search option. Entries are ordered newest to oldest. If stdout is attached to a tty the output will be piped through your pager by the history function. The history builtin simply writes the results to stdout.

Neither did it recognize the short options for the builtin command. This change fixes both of those issues.

- `-d` or `--delete` deletes history items. Without the `--prefix` or `--contains` options, the exact match will be deleted. With either of these options, a prompt will be displayed before any items are deleted asking you which entries are to be deleted. You can enter the word "all" to delete all matching entries. You can enter a single ID (the number in square brackets) to delete just that single entry. You can enter more than one ID separated by a space to delete multiple entries. Just press [enter] to not delete anything. Note that the interactive delete behavior is a feature of the history function. The history builtin only supports bulk deletion.

- `-m` or `--merge` immediately incorporates history changes from other sessions. Ordinarily `fish` ignores history changes from sessions started after the current one. This command applies those changes immediately.

- `-t` or `--with-time` outputs the date and time ("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") history items were recorded at on a line starting with "#" before each history entry.

If you specify both `--prefix` and `--contains` the last flag seen is used.
