- Hi,
- Got a quick one. If I have an alias like this:
-
- alias wow='echo $@ hello there'
-
- or even,
-
- alias wow="echo $@ hello there"
-
- Then why do I get the following when I run the alias? To wit,
-
- $ wt WOW
- hello there WOW
- $
-
- The argument(s) should be first! Why not? The same thing happens with the
- print command.
