LISP to write command line history to file

Is there a way of writing a selected amount of the command line history to a file via a lisp routine?

An option to write analysis to file pops up when using the MASSPROP command (see attached screenshot). I wondered if it was possible to replicate something similar for lisp results that come up on the command line.

Thanks in advance.

for displaying result can use textpage , princ , prin1 , vl-princ-to-string , strcat etc..

example:

(defun c:test (/ i)
 (textpage)
 (setq i 64)
 (repeat 26 (princ (strcat "\nascii " (itoa (setq i (1+ i)))" is "(chr i))))
 (princ)
 ) ;_ end of defun

variable last command line

(getvar "lastprompt")

we don't know what data you want to display in command line?

you can post your example too.

I am thinking that maybe something like this is what you are looking for.

;clears the log file
(defun clrlogfile ( / f)
 (setq f (open (getvar "LogFileName") "w"))
 (write-line "" f)
 (close f)
 )

(clrlogfile);clears the logfile

(setvar "logfilemode" 1);begin logging

;PRINT WHAT YOU WANT TO COMMAND LINE....

(setvar "logfilemode" 0);end logging

(startapp "Notepad" (getvar "LogFileName"));open it up in notepad

Do you want a summary of commands used in a session and how long it took to do, we had a look at this to compare how many commands per staff per hours of work. Does lots of commands mean that operator is better ?
