( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
thanks for that pointer, that sounded like it could solve the problem, but i didn't...

i think the lithist option means a multiline command like:

$ for i in *.pl do echo $i done $ <arrow up> $ for i in *.pl ; do echo $i; done $ shopt -s lithist $ <arrow up> $ for i in *.pl do echo $i done
the problem appears if command arguments itself have newlines, an easy example is
$ echo " word "
so it would work if one calls perl with multiple -e args:
$ perl -wle'print 1;' \ -e 'print 2;'
but that's ugly, isn't it? =)

update: but i still think it should work because if i type in a multiline perl command and type arrow-up immediately after that i get all my lines like i typed them in. just storing in the history doesn't seem to work.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
