[opensuse] alias egrep failure (for zypper)
In order to make it easier than routinely typing zypper se -s packagestring | grep x86 | egrep -v 'src|devel|xtra' I tried to make an alias: alias zse6='zypper se -s $1 | grep x86 | egrep -v "src|devel|xtra" ' but it produces: # zse6 packagestring egrep: packagestring: No such file or directory What needs changing to return x86_64 packages exclusive of src, devel and xtra that contain the string packagestring? Why is egrep looking for any file or directory? If I swap each ' for " and vice versa, results are even worse. I tried escaping pipes and quotes, but it didn't get any better. Anyone know an easier way than manually typing zypper se -s packagestring | grep x86 | egrep -v 'src|devel|xtra' for x86_64 users to exclude 32 bit packages from search results? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Aliases do no take an parameters - they are pure textual substitution. You need to define function to do it.

Good question. I expected zypper se '*.x86_64' to do it, but it lists everything. Which is rather unexpected; I wonder how this string is interpreted. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Not the first time I couldn't figure out why an alias didn't work like a script. :-(

Other than not consuming 4k of storage space for a handful of bytes, how is that better than adding another one line script to /user/local/bin/?
