Question

I was wondering if there’s any way to create an alias for a list of arguments.

Considering the following commands:

my_command --class_a_argument_one --class_a_argument_two --class_a_argument_three --class_a_argument_four

my_command --class_b_argument_one --class_b_argument_two --class_b_argument_three --class_b_argument_four

my_second_command --class_a_argument_one --class_a_argument_two --class_a_argument_three --class_a_argument_four

I want to create two different aliases for each list of arguments so that I could run these two commands using these:

my_command class_a_arguments
my_second_command class_a_arguments
my_command class_b_arguments

Any ideas?

Answer 1

They’re called variables.

A="foo bar"
B="baz qoox"
my_command $A
your_command $B
