I have the following script. It's a simple test case where a is any string value and b is supposed to be a path. 



#!/bin/bash

alias jo "
echo "please enter values "
read a 
read -e b 
echo "My values are $a and $b""


However whenever I try to execute ./sample.sh I get the following errors:



./sample.sh: line 3: alias: jo: not found
./sample.sh: line 3: alias: echo please: not found
./sample.sh: line 3: alias: enter: not found
./sample.sh: line 3: alias: values: not found
./sample.sh: line 3: alias: read a read -e b echo My: not found
./sample.sh: line 3: alias: values: not found
./sample.sh: line 3: alias: are: not found
./sample.sh: line 3: alias: and: not found
./sample.sh: line 3: alias: : not found


and when I try source sample.sh I get the following:



a: Undefined variable.


My aim was to make this an alias so that I can source this script and just run the alias to execute the line of commands. Can someone look at this and let me know what the error is?

    When you think you need multiline and multiple-command alias, it's time to either define a function or make a script.

You have a couple of issues here



  1. unlike in csh, in bash (and other Bourne-like shells), aliases are assigned with an = sign e.g. alias foo=bar


  2. quotes can't be nested like that; in this case, you can use single quotes around the alias and double quotes inside


  3. the backslash is a line continuation character: syntactically, it makes your command into a single line (the opposite of what you want)


So



#!/bin/bash

alias jo='
echo "please enter values "
read a 
read -e b 
echo "My values are $a and $b"'


Testing: first we source the file:



$ . ./myscript.sh


then



$ jo
please enter values 
foo bar
baz
My values are foo bar and baz


If you want to use the alias within a script, then remember that aliases are only enabled by default in interactive shells: to enable them inside a script you will need to add



shopt -s expand_aliases


Regardless of everything above, you should consider using a shell function rather than an alias for things like this

    Another reason to use single quotes around the alias is that variables inside double quotes are expanded, so $a and $b would be expanded at definition time, not when the alias is executed.

  • Thanks for the solution, the issue here is despite me writing the script as given by you and when i execute it i get jo: command not found the alias for some reason doesnt get registered. when i source the file then i get this error Unmatched " . the only reason i am doing alias and not function is cause i want to call this line of code at command line and in function i dont know how to achieve that. i have seen the function call is usually within the script. Usage of alias was just to ensure i can use it like a function and call it whenever i want it
