# Edit Previous Parts Of The Pry Buffer History
|
||||
|
||||
Each line of Ruby you enter into a Pry session is recorded with a number in
|
||||
the buffer history. Pry keeps this buffer history so that you can recall
|
||||
parts of it for editing and subsequent execution.
|
||||
|
||||
If you use the `edit` command by itself, Pry will open the previous Ruby
|
||||
statement in your default editor. But what if you want to edit a statement
|
||||
from a while back? Or even a series of statements?
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `--in` flag with `edit` either specifying a single record in the
|
||||
buffer history or a range of records.
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
$ pry
|
||||
[1] pry(main)> puts "Hello"
|
||||
Hello
|
||||
=> nil
|
||||
[2] pry(main)> puts "World"
|
||||
World
|
||||
=> nil
|
||||
[3] pry(main)> puts "People"
|
||||
People
|
||||
=> nil
|
||||
[4] pry(main)> edit --in 1..2
|
||||
Hello
|
||||
World
|
||||
=> nil
|
||||
```
