You can als use the exit command if you add the following line:

For crying out loud. Microsoft, a multi-billion dollar corporation creates the Power Shell and it doesn't preserve the history across sessions. You have to write a script. Jesus, how freaking lame. Make it save history by default. Oh, that's right, Linux is lame. Can't do it like they do it. God forbid.

Well enough of my rant, but I felt it needed to be said.

If you don't like what I just said, oh well. You know what they say about opinions.

Same here. I would like the arrow keys to scroll through the imported history. More details on how to use the event hook are here stackoverflow.com/.../powershell-history-how-do-you-prevent-duplicate-commands.

Thanks for the great little tutorial! I'm a UNIX/Linux user who is trying to get to grips with PowerShell.

One thing I've not managed through your little tutorial is to get the arrow keys to work. So I can:

1. export a session history

2. close session

3. import previous session history

4. use the up-arrow key to get to a point in imported history

1-3 works fine. I can do a get-history and see that all is imported, but 4 does not work! It only lets me access the current session history.

Your help would be appreciated.

Still no normal resolution for history ?

And the event driven solution arrived

Is there a way to import the data so that it's available when pressing F7?
