Pulling ALL line test with an alias
|
I'm having problems with alias that work like this:
#ALIAS s($text) say $text
Works perfect if you only say 1 word. If you say more than word, only the first word is output, for example:
say hello world
outputs
hello
How do I make it output everything? |

I seem to recall that Zugg did away with the %-1 stuff? I think you use %params() or some other newer function that does the same thing. I'm not in much shape right now to go looking, but fairly sure it's all pretty obvious.

Each local variable only picks up parameters in order. You need to group it into one parameter with curly braces {} or quotes ""
s "something something something"
s {something something something}
If you want to use all parameters you either use %-1 or the %params function, which is exactly the same as %-nn.
So your alias will be:
#alias s {say %-1}
#alias s {say %params} |
