I do this a lot in bash. This almost works in csh (which I am regrettably forced to use). Yes, the command is not executed but is still stuffed in the history buffer, so the requirement is met. But it also generates an annoying error message about # not being found. csh doesn't understand comments when typed interactively. yukonbob's trick with : does work in csh without complaint. Thanks! I will definitely keep it in mind. > Or, in the Bash shell, simply: > > 1) Tap Escape, then type the # character. That does all 3 of the > above at once. Neat, I didn't know about this. - -- Andy Goth | <andrew.m.goth/at/gmail/dot/com> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJToPLTAAoJELtYwrrr47Y43Y0H/jJLBWMy+XATUgUDa+K585sp DcYC3QooXTuDwtX+45AmT3BbaNARDs0rBYK+85+7GgoUA1yAeAsV55tAyxK/JHZR /psym9LX0S4q7ggvbymOqSCZ+QuzWpMSYEmSaIXGinvn8/o7eHj6YNAvF4A9wsNx lopqK5AlrhQebc8DxDk6paVHYIzxwShAp1kMmRpkCjegT2PnkfxbqfqhxMYZLz0o 2gqXUrRunofwmyNOi2kPjPoi9DMAmGQuwSGUp0+FDrrVs/qhAKIZpH8JKdgWNe0z cll7jDjLhU0Z2MR9rECVqvCj+AOzKBoptnttepgbHTEHblJNELUoTgkoJUp+k4g= =+8vk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
