Hello. Here is a quick run down of what I'm facing.
$ alias all='ls -la' $ all /var/log This works because it's the as typing: $ ls -la /var/log but $ alias ald='all|egrep ^d' $ ald /var/log does not work because it's the same as typing: $ ls -la|egrep ^d /var/log which is out of order. Is it possible to construct the alias in such a way that I make this happen? $ ls -la /var/log|egrep ^d The alias would look something like this (as I imagine it in my head): $ alias ald='ls -la $1|egrep ^d' Hopefully I've made some sense and someone can give me a yes or no.
