R Documentation

Load or Save or Display the Commands History

Description

Load or save or display the commands history.

Usage

loadhistory(file = ".Rhistory")
savehistory(file = ".Rhistory")
history(max.show = 25, reverse = FALSE)

Arguments

file	The name of the file in which to save the history, or from which to load it. The path is relative to the current working directory.
max.show	The maximum number of lines to show. Inf will give all of the currently available history.
reverse	logical. If true, the lines are shown in reverse order. Note: this is not useful when there are continuation lines.

Details

This works under the readline and GNOME interfaces, but not if readline is not available.

Note

If you want to save the history (almost) every session, you can put a call to savehistory() in .Last.
