Add Nested Aliases about yori HOT 4 CLOSED

yd=youtube-dl
ydf=yd --format

That should be fine.

alias w = pushd c:\wp & wp & popd

This will not currently work in Yori. "w" expands to a single command, not a compound expression.

If you rename the WINWORD.EXE program or move it to a new directory, only the first alias needs to be changed.

This is different between the two. In Yori the second alias is expanded at the time it is defined, so changing the first will do nothing. Doing this means the shell doesn't need to recursively attempt to resolve the alias, or handle loops in resolution, etc.

The aliases below report "unrecognized command"
ydf="yd --format" $1$
ydf ="yd --format $1$"

This is occurring because of the quotes. It's expanding this into a single command, so is looking for a file called "yd --format.exe" or similar. If you omit the quotes, this should work fine.

It's not saving '--format'

c:>alias yd=youtube-dl
c:>alias ydf=yd --format
c:>alias
yd=youtube-dl
ydf=youtube-dl

I'm sorry, I misunderstood. In this case "yd" is defined as "youtube-dl" without specifying what to do with any arguments, so it's discarding them all. I think you want:

c:>alias yd=youtube-dl $*$
c:>alias ydf=youtube-dl --format $*$
c:>alias
yd=youtube-dl $*$
ydf=youtube-dl --format $*$

from yori.

I don't know command line basics so this may look strange.

yd=youtube-dl
ydf=yd --format

That should be fine.

It's not saving '--format'

c:>alias yd=youtube-dl
c:>alias ydf=yd --format
c:>alias
yd=youtube-dl
ydf=youtube-dl

c:>alias ydf=yd --format $1$
c:>alias
yd=youtube-dl
ydf=youtube-dl

c:>alias ydf=yd --format $1$ $2$
c:>alias
yd=youtube-dl
ydf=youtube-dl

It fails with combined aliases but works with complete commands.

ydf=youtube-dl --format $1$ $2$

Thank you.
Those aliases worked without any problems.
