Fuzzy finding only between output from last command

[hqkhan]

Hello! I wanted to ask if there's a way to only fuzzy find within stdout from last executed command. I run a lot of tests and sometimes I'm looking for specific string inside output that gets matched from one of my old runs.

I realize that I could output everything into a file and find in there but I was wondering if I can do that strictly from stdout.

Hi! I have thought of it, I've had the same issue. But I couldn't figure out a way to tell fuzzback where to stop looking, if you have any ideas I'm all ears :)

Haha that's funny. I was hoping you'd have some ideas. All good. I think I'll spend some time on this soon and see if I can get something.

Yeah I couldn't think of how to get the search to stop. It'd be a half-assed solution I feel like.

I did a little bit of research into signals in a shell, what I was thinking is that maybe it'd be possible to have your shell execute a command on each command, by trapping the DEBUG signal, then that could send another signal to fuzzback indicating the start of the last command.

its an idea, but it would require a fair bit of shell modification at best, a bad idea at worst :) best I could come up with that didn't include leaving some sort of text behind after each command.

Oh, that is rather interesting. That is completely uncharted territory. I'll have to read to see how that can POTENTIALLY be applied
