Why does this not work?
How does this work? I have 5 single quotes. I though you needed an even amount of single quotes.
What is the trick to make it work with an alias? This won't work.
@cokedude
When you post code which does not work, please provide sample input and sample expected output making the process specification emphatically clear.
Please also post what Operating System and version you are running and what Shell you are using.
It is unlikely than an optimum solution to your problem would involve the alias command.
Ps. I do wonder sometimes why do you persist in trying to use alias for complex commands when you should be using proper Shell Scripts?
Imho. If the alias command was deleted from all Shells it would be no great loss.
Did you know? You can modify the ${PATH} environment variable to include your scripts directory:
e.g.
Then you can use the name of your script as if it was a command and avoid using aliases.

I apologize if this question has been answered else where or is too elementary.
I ran across a KSH script (long unimportant story) that does this:
if ; then
CAS_SRC_LOG="/var/log/cas_src.log 2>&1"
else
CAS_SRC_LOG="/dev/null 2>&1"
fithen does this:

why is this giving me errors?
i type this in: find / -name "something.txt" 2>/dev/null
i get the following error messages:
find: bad option 2
find: path-list predicate-list

How are these two different? They both prevent output and error from being displayed. I don't see the use of the "&"
echo "hello" > /dev/null 2>&1
echo "hello" > /dev/null 2>1 (3 Replies)
Hi,
How do you echo something once when a find statement returns null results?
This is when using mutiple locations and mutiple arguments.
The below find command the inner loop of a nested for loop where the outter loop holds the $args and the inner loop holds the locations.

Hi,
I am trying to display the filename in which a string was found after using find and grep. For this after some googling I found that this works:
find -name "*.java" -exec grep "searchStr" {} /dev/null \;
I wanted to know the difference between the above and the following:
