alias two words or more
 

Hi. I think this question is kind of stupid. Usually when you set alias in your ~/.bashrc file, you make it consist of one word like this:

alias rm='rm -i'

But what if I want to make the alias to consist of two words or more. I've tried this:

alias remove\ junks='rm -i'
alias "remove junks"='rm -i'
alias 'remove junks'='rm -i'

And I want space between the words so that when I type something like:

, it would do for me. Or there limitation for alias command? Thanks.

I'm not an alias expert but feel that wouldn't work out so well.. why not just write a basic shell script to do this, with options, etc?

rm is short for remove so your theory of making a two word alias does not make much sense to me. In fact you unaliasing in this case. And yes I beleive the built in command for alias does not accept two arguments:
alias [-p] [name[=value] ...]

Also I would think typing rm -i junk.file would be easier to type than remove junks junk.file as well.. ;)

You could use `remove_junk` then hopefully when you type "rem"+TAB you should get what you want. Pretty silly if you ask me. But you may have some other function for this in mind'

Yeah! Just to make the command line to understand normal words:). Even when I make a script 'remove junk', I cannot run it unless I put the '\' in between. I think I should make a script that accept command from echo -n instead. Thanks guy.
