Hello All,
I wrote an alias to extract all the occurrencies of a particular command

into my history.
Here is what I made:

find_history='history|fgrep $1'

As you can try it extract every thing contains the pattern I give after
the command name.
Es.:

bash$ find_history ls

12 ls -l
230 ls -la
....
1021 find_history ls

bash$...

How U can imagine, I don't like to see also the lines where there is the

find_history command. So I modified the previous to:

find_history='history|fgrep $1|fgrep -v find_history'

But this doesn't work as I think, see later the result...

bash$ find_history ls

Usage: fgrep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `fgrep --help' for more information.
fgrep: ls: No such file or directory
Broken pipe

bash$ ...

Can you help me?Thanx a lot
