Get the last command

[ollie]

I am trying to record the actions users take using reactors. I can't seem to find out how to retrieve the last command. Does anyone know of a method or the table in the database which this is stoed?

 

I know the system variable cmdnames should store the last command but when i try to retrieve it I always get the "" as a value

 

Thanks

Ollie

You could try LASTPROMPT I suppose, but I don't think it'd be much help.

 

If you are trying to record which commands users enter, then this is easily achieved using a simple command reactor, where information about command line entry is easily retrieved.

If you want to use the last command you used, then you can just hit enter. You can also "RIGHT CLICK" and see a list of the recent commands.

 

 

Hope this helps!

Or, as an alternative, (cred to RJP):

 

(defun c:cbl (/ ws)
 (vl-load-com)
 (setq ws (vlax-get-or-create-object "wscript.shell"))
 (repeat 2 (vlax-invoke ws 'sendkeys "{UP}"))
 (vlax-invoke ws 'sendkeys "{ENTER}")
 (vlax-release-object ws)
 (princ))
