Hi all

when i forget some command that i have been input before… in linux usually i check with

cat ~/.bash_history |grep mycommand

how to do similiar thing on haiku terminal?

The portable way to do this would be history|grep mycommand, or just control+R mycommand.

You can do a Ctrl-R like PulkoMandy suggested or, if you want access to the history file, the file is “/boot/home/config/settings/bash_history”. At least that’s where the file is on my Haiku installation.
