Using special "replace" characters in a bash script

Question

I want to use the !!, !$,^abc^cde, etc. aliases in a bash script. Sadly, I cant seem to make them work in a script (They work just fine in interactive mode), Does anybody know what the problem is? If this can not be done, do you know about anything that operates in a similar way that can be used in a bash script?

Use set +o histexpand to enable history expansion in non-interactive bash shells.
