- Command lines too long or clumsy?
You could make a menu entry in your window manager,
or you could write:
- Shell script: a file with commands, just like you'd
type at a shell prompt.
Works in all shells.
#!/bin/sh
grep something "$@" | pr | lpr
"$@" will expand into any filename(s) you give
- Bourne-type shell function: a list of commands, like a
shell script.
grepper() {
grep something "$@" | pr | lpr
}
"$@" will expand into any filename(s)
- C-type shell alias: condenses a command line into a
one-word abbreviation.
alias grepper 'grep something \!* | pr | lpr'
\!* will expand into any filename(s)
-
Execute any of those like this:
grepper file*
