See my above post, in case you'll miss it.

Also, that \!* can be replaced by any directory if you use that line in a command line; I set it up as a csh alias. \!* allows an argument.

I have an LG VX9800 (The V), am using Linux Mint, and just downloaded BitPim. The problem: BitPim doesn't detect my phone. Then again, the computer doesn't even do that. I read here...

Why do you need another command? That one works just fine (given that software in in the root directory). I don't even use the -l.

Here's one I came up with before learning the one you mentioned:...

tukuyomi: That finds them, yes, but I need to run them. Using `` (the backquotes) would accomplish this. However, if I use them in the .bashrc file (or in .cshrc), they are automatically run upon...

Read this entire thread, from the beginning, and that is all I tried with both csh and bash. This is what it comes down to:

alias a="`find | egrep '.*assign[0-9]{1,2}$'`"Its purpose is to run a...

Hey, it doesn't work in Bash, either. =P I think csh is simpler. It even allows arguments, which I abuse, for aliases without needing to use a script.

I don't know much about scripting, yet. I suppose I'll go learn about it.

Thanks for your help, though. ^_^

I just don't understand why the aliases aren't working...

All I'm trying to do is run C++ programs by just typing a.

The C++ programs need to be outputted to "assign#" or "assign##" (depending on their number) for my college class.

I used to alias "a"...

Doing that doesn't change my problem of using it as an alias, though. If I put it in my .cshrc file (using the ` quotes to use them as a command line argument so I can run them), it looks for...

Okay, here's another problem I bumped into before that just came up. Here's my alias (with tsch):

alias a "`find | egrep 'assign[0-9]{1,2}$'`"But when I try that either in the command line or the...

Using egrep doesn't change anything except the need for a backslash with the braces.

(And egrep is just an alternate way to put grep -E.)

Edit:
Oh, I forgot about that thing! Thanks. Problem...

But that finds things like assign##.o and assign##.cpp. Why won't the variations work so it would just find what I want?

Or would I just have to pipe that into something else (I don't know what)...

That doesn't work. It works using just the plain assign[0-9] but not 'assign[0-9]{1,2}', 'assign[0-9][0-9]?', or any of the other variations.

I don't understand why the following simple command is not working:
find assign[0-9]{1,2}Variations don't work, either:
find assign[0-9][0-9]+
find assign[0-9][0-9]?
ls assign[0-9[{1,2}
etc....

In the terminal, using the ampersand allows the process to run in the background--Emacs, for example. But is there a way to automatically open Emacs as a background process so I can still use the...
