/recordline

Usage:

/RECORDLINE [-lig] [-w[world]] [-ttime] text


Records text into a history buffer.

Options:

-w
record to current world's history
-wworld
record to world's history
-l
record to local history
-g
record to global history (default)
-i
record to input history
-ttime
record the line with the system time time (as displayed by /recall -t@) instead of the current time
-aattrs
Record text with the attributes given by attrs.
-p
Interpet "@{attr}" strings as commands to set attributes inline. "@@" strings are interpreted as "@". "@{n}" or "@{x}" will turn attributes off. See also: decode_attr().

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 -S -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.

Note that /recordline always appends to the end of a history. /Recordline -ttime makes it possible to insert lines that are not in chronological order, which may produce strange results with /recall.

See: /recall, /quote, history
