- faulteh 12y agoImmediately ^'d this post for it's usefulness, but I put this in my .bashrc instead: function body_alias() { sed -n $1,$2p $3 } alias body=body_alias I used to have little scripts like body in my own ~/bin or /usr/local/bin but I've been slowly moving those to my .bashrc which I can copy to new systems I log on to.
- vram22 12y agoGlad you liked it. Your alias technique is good too. Plus it may save a small amount of time since the body script does not have to be loaded from its file (as in my case) - unless your *nix version caches it in memory after the first time.
