Re: Parameter passing to bash aliases

[Rajasankar K <kraja@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mathur,

These following lines in .bashrc solves it 100%.

cdnew ()
{
        \cd $* ; ls
}
alias cd='cdnew'

1.The \ in \cd $* is necessary.

2.There shall not be any double-quotes in "$*".
When I don't give any parameter it becomes
cd "";ls and it doesn't change the directory.

Thanks again,
Raja.
