Problem with bash: alias command - users - Fedora Mailing-Lists

Sunday, 20 December 2015

Hi all,

Running F23, and my shell is /bin/bash.

My problem: suppose you define an alias:

alias x='echo PAR=$1'

Now call the alias by:

x 1

Output: PAR= 1

My question: why do I get the blank before the "1"?

All comments are welcome.

Kind regards
