I've come up with a couple issues while trying to research and make this work. My Google searches are not bringing me the results I want. Either I'm not searching the right terms or I don't really know what I'm trying to do here.

1) Is it possible to create an aliasinside a function that only works when that function is called?

Ex:
Code:
testfunction () {
	alias test="(print hello)"
}

testfunction test
hello

Obviously the example code I put in doesn't work the way I was hoping. The aliasworks outside the function, but doesn't work with the function name followed by the alias.

Code:
clmbn-eng2.eng:~% testfunction 
clmbn-eng2.eng:~% testfunction test
clmbn-eng2.eng:~% test
hello

2) Can an aliasbe named with a hyphen followed by a letter?

Ex:
Code:
alias -h="(print hello)"

The closest thing I could find was creating an alias named - by doing alias -- -="(print hello)"

3) Since trying to aliasan awkrequires a ton of escaping characters, is it possible to put a function inside a function? Can the function inside the function only be called with the function (similar to, but with functions instead of aliases question 1)

4) Is there an easier way to go about what I'm trying to do?

Code:
cver () {
	#Need a help defined by -h which would show the different variables available to the user. Also suggest grep | "xx" to find specific versions
	#cver without any variables should kick back -h message, if possible, to user that they need to define a variable such as -c, -e, -o
	#cver without those variables is no fun having everything shown to you at once	
	awk '/JUNOS/ && /boot/ {sub ("/show.version", "", FILENAME); print $5 " " FILENAME}' ~/svn/nw_config_data/*cpe.domain.net/show.version | sort
	#I want cpe to be accessed by -c
	#Example: cver -c
	#
	awk '/JUNOS/ && /boot/ {sub ("/show.version", "", FILENAME); print $5 " " FILENAME}' ~/svn/nw_config_data/*cpe2.domain.net/show.version | sort
	#I want cpe2 to be accessed by -e
	#Example: cver -e
	#
	awk '/JUNOS/ && /boot/ {sub ("/show.version", "", FILENAME); print $5 " " FILENAME}' ~/svn/nw_config_data/*cpe3.domain.net/show.version | sort
	#I want cpe3 to be accessed by -o
	#Example: cver -o
}
