# Dot stack

The dot stack displays the entries entered at TCL. Every
unique command that is typed at the TCL prompt is saved in a file
on the dm account called tcl-stack.

TCL stack entries can be recalled and edited using these
dot stack commands:

| .? | Displays help. |
| --- | --- |
| ! str | Searches the stack for the first entry containing the string that it displays and executes. |
| .l | Lists stack. |
| .l n | Lists top n stack entries. |
| .l m-n | Lists stack entries m through n. |
| .r | Displays top stack entry and allows modification. |
| .rn | Displays stack entry n and allows modification. |
| .rn/str1/str2 | Replaces string 1 with string 2 in stack entry n. |
| .run/str1/str2 | Replaces all occurrences of string 1 with string 2 in stack entry n. |
| .de | Deletes top stack entry. |
| .den | Deletes top n stack entries. |
| .den/str | Deletes any n stack entries containing a string. |
| .x | Executes top stack entry. |
| .{x}n{,n} | Executes stack entry n. .x pops to the top of stack. |
| .x name | Executes macro created by the .c command |
| .x file.name | Executes macro name in file. |
| .cn{,n} | Creates macro from specified stack entries. |
| .con{,n} | Creates macro, overwriting. |
