man bash:
---------
histchars
The two or three characters which control history
expansion and tokenization (see HISTORY EXPANSION
below). The first character is the history expan
sion character, the character which signals the
start of a history expansion, normally `!'. The
second character is the quick substitution charac
ter, which is used as shorthand for re-running the
previous command entered, substituting one string
for another in the command. The default is `^'.
The optional third character is the character which
indicates that the remainder of the line is a com
ment when found as the first character of a word,
normally `#'. The history comment character causes
history substitution to be skipped for the remain
ing words on the line. It does not necessarily
cause the shell parser to treat the rest of the
line as a comment.
---------
the ^ bash command runs the previous command, substituting args
specified. Not sure exactly how the substitution works tho. Can you
post a snippet of the script?
