i finally managed to get an alias working the way i want it to, but i don't understand how one part of it works (highlighted in red):
Code:
alias log ' \\
set x=`echo \!:1 | /bin/sed -e "s/\([^_]\)/\1*\{_,\}/g" -e "s|\(.*\)|$L/\1*|"`; \\
80; ls -1hAFL $x; 80; set x=`echo $x | /bin/awk '\''{ print $1 }'\''`; \!:2* $x;'
