sfk alias [-list|-del|-ren] [shortname] [=] [command]
create, list, delete or rename command aliases. aliases are
short command names selected by yourself to save typing effort.
sfk alias shortname = command ...
create an alias. this actually creates a small batch file
in the directory where sfk itself is located.
requirements:
- the sfk executable has been copied into some directory x.
- this directory x must be in your PATH.
- you must have write permission for directory x.
- directory x is NOT the current working directory ".".
if any of these requirements is not met, the command will fail.
for example, if sfk.exe is located just in your current
working directory ".", copy sfk.exe into a different
directory of the PATH, and then start aliasing.
alternative bath file path by SFK_PATH
you may also create a separate folder for your batch files
which must be listed in the PATH environment variable.
then set SFK_PATH=myfolder to let sfk write into that.
options
-verbose tell in detail which batch folder is used
see also
sfk mkcd : create an alias remembering the current directory.
examples
sfk alias list = "sfk list"
creates the alias named "list". from now on, you can
type "list" instead of "sfk list".
sfk alias wherc = "sfk list -arc . .jar filter -+%1.class"
creates alias "wherc", searching for class files in jars.
after the alias exists, command "wherc Foo" executes the
commands from above, listing all class names with "Foo".
sfk alias tab2c "sfk fromclip +filt -spat -rep _\t_,_ +toclip"
then type tab2c to replace tabs by commas within clipboard.
sfk alias copytoday "sfk run \"copy $file c:\tmp\" . -today"
copy all files changed today to c:\tmp. if double quotes "
should be part of your command, they must be escaped as \"
sfk alias wide MODE CON COLS=160
extend the current shell window to a width of 160 columns.
sfk alias ec "notepad c:\app\bin\%1.bat"
provided that c:\app\bin is in your path, creates
a command "ec" to instantly edit further commands.
sfk alias xclip sfk fromclip +xex _%1_
if clipboard contains text like foo bar hoo
then xclip bar* shows only text starting from bar.
PARAMETER LIMITATION: note that the created batch files
may accept only a maximum of 9 parameters, called %1 to %9.
Further parameters may be ignored, or cannot be addressed.
USE SURROUNDING QUOTES whenever your command string contains
special characters like % \ ! otherwise these chars may be
removed (or misinterpreted) by the command shell.
sfk alias -list
list all existing aliases. this actually scans the directory
where sfk is located for batch files containing aliases.
sfk alias shortname
list definition of an existing alias.
sfk alias -del aliasname
delete an alias (deletes the associated batchfile).
sfk alias -ren oldname newname
rename an alias (renames the associated batchfile).
more examples:
sfk alias late = sfk list -late
after that, you have a command "late", which can be used like:
late .
lists the most recent files in the current directory,
including all subdirectories.
sfk alias later = sfk list -norec -late
creates a command "later", which can be used like:
later .
lists the most recent files in the current directory,
NOT including subdirectories.
sfk alias findhtm "sfk find -pat %2 %3 %4 -dir %1 -file .htm .php"
creates a command "findhtm", which can be used like
findhtm htdocs index.php mode
searches all .htm, .html and .php files in directory htdocs,
including all subdirectories, for text lines containing
the words "index.php" AND "mode".
sfk alias zipsince "sfk run -since %1 \"zip -r %2 $qfile\""
creates a command "zipsince", zipping files changed on or after
a specific date, using zip.exe (free tool from the InfoZIP group).
zipsince 20070303 update.zip work !.exe !.obj
collect all files from directory "work", excluding .exe and
.obj files, which have been changed since 03-Mar-2007,
into a file "update.zip".
sfk mkcd cdname
creates an alias batch file, remembering the current directory.
this batch can be used later to re-enter the remembered directory.
example:
1. you are currently working in
C:\Documents And Long Complicated Paths\Users\You\Work
2. now type:
sfk mkcd cd1
which saves above path in a command "cd1".
3. you go into a different directory, e.g.
C:\Another Project\Nested Dirs\Work2
4. now type:
sfk mkcd cd2
=> now, anytime you type:
cd1
you jump instantly into
C:\Documents And Long Complicated Paths\Users\You\Work
and anytime you type:
cd2
you jump instantly into
C:\Another Project\Nested Dirs\Work2
if the creation of the alias fails, please type "sfk alias" to read
about the required directories and access rights.
