history command buffer in MATLAB - call by command number

Question

Can I call a command from matlab history by its number, pretty much in the same fashion as in unix/linux

!10

Anybody knows?

Answer 1

It is possible to access the command history programmatically using java.

javaHistory=com.mathworks.mlservices.MLCommandHistoryServices.getSessionHistory;

If you want to evaluate the 10-th command in the history, you'd run

eval(javaHistory(10).toString)
