open last command in the editor with fc
Some time you have a long command and you want to edit multiple word in it. for example:
$ cat foo.txt | grep foo | grep -v bar > foo_output.txtSay you want to execute this 5 times and each replacing
foo and bar with something else.for that you can use the
fc command.$ fc
It will open a text editor (vim for me. I'm guessing it will look at $EDITOR env variable).
After that you can edit or duplicate the line easily. Each line will be treated as a single command.
You can as well do something like
$ fc foo=baz
It will replace all instance of
foo in the command and replace it with bazLast modified 1yr ago
