Differences between fish and bash to pass commandline arguments to alias functions?
- by NES
From the answers to my other question here i learned about the possibility to pass commandline arguments to a alias function in Bash.
In Fish i can edit an alias by editing the file config.fish in ~/.config/fish directory and adding a line like this
alias lsp='ls -ah --color=always | less -R;'
and it works perfectly. This should be the equivalent to editing ~/.bash_aliases in bash
But when i try to setup an alias function to pass arguments like this
alias lsp='_(){ ls -ah --color=always $* | less -R; }; _'
it doesn't work for fish?
Are there any differences between fish and bash in the way to setup an alias to pass commandline arguments that prevent this second alias from working with fish instead of bash?
