I'm trying to set up the following alias (function actually): em() { emacs $1 -geometry "56x23" } such that I can pass a to `em' and bingo-bango I'm off programming some C code.
I use functions like that all the time.Perhaps it's in the way that it's set up. Are you adding this to your ~/.zshrc file, or manually defining the function?
I've got the following in my ~/.zshrc file and it works perfectly.
pd() {
[ -n "${1}" ] && pushd "${1}" || popd;
}
It's using parameters on a function, just like you're trying to do. It
works a treat.
Aside: Yes, I'm lazy and don't want to type pushd or popd. Instead, the pd function determines which command to run based on if $1 is set or not.
