Windows PowerShell Command history usage

(i) Get all cmdlets that contain the "history" keyword

Using the PS c:\< get-command-name *history*-commandtype cmdlet, the result.

650) this.width=650; "title=" clipboard "style=" Border-top:0px;border-right:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;border-left:0px;padding-right:0px, "border=" 0 "alt=" clipboard "Src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M01/5A/33/wKioL1T5pZHDfKMxAAC3v38aiP8741.jpg "height=" 123 "/>

(b) After finding a history-related command, we can then use the get-history to get a historical record of the command.

(iii) The alias of the cmdlet can be obtained by using the Get-alias-definition Get-history method.

(d) How to run a history command by checking the command history information you see?

For example, the command recorded above has Get-childitem, the Id number of this command history is 3, then we can run this historical command by using PS c:\< Invoke-history-id.

650) this.width=650; "title=" clipboard[3] "style=" border-top:0px;border-right:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;border-left:0px;padding-right:0px, "border=" 0 "alt=" clipboard [3] "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M02/5A/37/wKiom1T5pIGQpqs0AAD5AZKEUyk789.jpg "height=" 241 "/>

(v) How can I view a specific command history?

You can get the command history with ID number 3 and 4 by using the get-history ID number.

650) this.width=650; "title=" clipboard[4] "style=" border-top:0px;border-right:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;border-left:0px;padding-right:0px, "border=" 0 "alt=" clipboard [4] "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M01/5A/33/wKioL1T5pZqy33y5AABQLycfkEA659.jpg "height=" 121 "/>

But can not use Invoke-history-id 3,4 way to run, otherwise will error,.

650) this.width=650; "title=" clipboard[5] "style=" border-top:0px;border-right:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;border-left:0px;padding-right:0px, "border=" 0 "alt=" clipboard [5] "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M01/5A/37/wKiom1T5pIfTOTVCAAC5oFX3rvk898.jpg "height="/>

The same,

We can use Get-history 3 | Invoke-history Way to carry out the historical command,.

650) this.width=650; "title=" clipboard[6] "style=" border-top:0px;border-right:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;border-left:0px;padding-right:0px, "border=" 0 "alt=" clipboard [6] "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M02/5A/37/wKiom1T5pI-QVzZiAADUxJ38fVo743.jpg "height="/>

But

Cannot use get-history 3,4 | Invoke-history the way to execute the order, otherwise it will error,.

650) this.width=650; "title=" clipboard[7] "style=" border-top:0px;border-right:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;border-left:0px;padding-right:0px, "border=" 0 "alt=" clipboard [7] "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M01/5A/33/wKioL1T5pa7xvo15AADBQtBTNSE676.jpg "height=" 104 "/>

Through the error can be seen that the pipeline can not accept the input of multiple projects at the same time, we can add a Foreach Loop statement to solve the problem.

Use the command:

Get-history-id 3, 4 | foreach {Invoke-history-id $_.id}

The command executed successfully.

650) this.width=650; "title=" clipboard[8] "style=" border-top:0px;border-right:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;border-left:0px;padding-right:0px, "border=" 0 "alt=" clipboard [8] "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M01/5A/37/wKiom1T5pJ_jxUF9AAENcIlsMYs201.jpg "height=" 296 "/>
