reading the firebug console in javascript

Question

I\'m looking for a way to read the most recent command that was logged to the firebug console.

For example, I could have something that does

console.         


        

Answer 1

Here's a more elaborate version I put together:

/**
 * Console log with memory
 *
 * Example:
 *
 *     console.log(1);
 *     console.history[0]; // [1]
 *
 *     console.log(123, 456);
 *     console.history.slice(-1)[0]; // [123, 456]
 *
 *     console.log('third');
 *     // Setting the limit immediately trims the array,
 *     // just like .length (but removes from start instead of end).
 *     console.history.limit = 2;
 *     console.history[0]; // [123, 456], the [1] has been removed
 *

console.log = (function () {
    var log  = console.log,
        limit = 10,
        history = [],
        slice = history.slice;

    function update() {
        if (history.length > limit) {
            // Trim the array leaving only the last N entries
            console.history.splice(0, console.history.length - limit);
        }
    }

    if (console.history !== undefined) {
        return log;
    }

    Object.defineProperty(history, 'limit', {
        get: function () { return limit; },
        set: function (val) {
            limit = val;
            update();
        }
    });

    console.history = history;

    return function () {
        history.push(slice.call(arguments));
        update();
        return log.apply(console, arguments);
    };

}());
