I live learning and teaching new things like those when they come up. <br/><br/>Today's was the carat substitution in bash. It probably works in other shells too but IDK, I'm too old to learn a new shell.<br/><br/>The way it works is fairly similar to the / in sed or similar. You can use them to run the previous command but with a string substitution.<br/><br/>For example, let's say I entered this command: dig A cascadiacrow.org<br/><br/><br/><br/>When it fails to resolve, I realize it was a .com domain. Rather than retyping the command, or hitting the up arrow to change the previous command, you could do this: ^org^com^<br/><br/><br/><br/>And it would run: dig A cascadiacrow.com<br/><br/><br/><br/>Kind of cool with those one liners you spend way too much time on and find a typo.<br/><br/>Anyway, I used it and someone thought it was magic so if it's new to you too, happy Monday. </blockquote> 2026-07-14T17:22:03Z
