+ This repo is for the storage of a public-domain
+readline-and-command-history implementation.
-Update - 5th Sep 2012 -
+FILES:
-Almost there!
-The code now "pretty much" works as expected.
-( However, pressing Enter exits the program rather
-than storing the existing command-line and "staying
-in the program". I hope to fix this soon. )
+pd_readline.c - This is a file to test the
+implementation. Contains the main() function.
+
+test.txt - A small text file to test scrolling
+up and down with. This would be the "history" file
+in a real readline implementation.
+
+
+Status - 31st Dec 2015 - "sort of works".
+
+I'm back into doing work on this code.
+
+I've reverted the code to a much simpler early version.
+This compiles without errors and allows scrolling up
+and down through the "test.txt" "dummy history" file.
+It also allows editing of the command line.
+However, edits are *not* yet saved in a history file.
+
+Pressing Enter exits the program rather than storing
+the existing command-line and "staying in the program".
+I hope to change this soon.
You can edit a command-line (using backspace).
You can move around with left and right-arrow
keys.
-Command-history can be recalled from a file with
+"Dummy" history (from text.txt) can be recalled from a file with
the up-arrow key, and you can scroll up and down
-through the command-history.
-
-*** CAUTION! *** - There is, however, an occasional
-problem with "stack-smashing".
-
+through that file using the up and down arrows.
This code is released to the public domain.
