How to prevent specific words, commands being logged in the PSReadLine history?

[Marc013]

I love the PSReadLine history and use of it quite often.
Whenever I do this, I see a lot of entries in this log file that I rather would not have. I'm not interested when I've used cls or a custom function I've created for opening the PSReadLine history file.

Is there a way I can define a list of words, commands that should not be logged?

You can use Set-PSReadLineOption -AddToHistoryHandler to do the filtering. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/psreadline/set-psreadlineoption?view=powershell-7.3#-addtohistoryhandler for more details.

Works like a charm!
Thank you for providing the solution.

I've added the following to my pwsh profile

Set-PSReadLineOption -AddToHistoryHandler {
    param([string]$line)

    $exclude = 'historyFile|cls|ls'
    return ($line -notmatch $exclude)
}
