i’m trying to basically make a shortcut for krabby (see link) so i dont have to type <krabby name (pokemon name)> to see a specified pokemon. basically how can i make a script that passes the <command> and <option> to the output of what i type next?

Still not clear what you’re trying to do but assuming you’re trying to manipulate the krabby output with a different program, the other poster’s link on aliases should help you out. See the bottom section there on bash functions.
So for example if you’re trying to store a krabby output to a specific folder, something like this:
alias_name () { mkdir /path/%1 && krabby name %1 | xargs mv -t /path/%1 }
So in theory, typing something like
alias_name charizard
would, in this order, create a new folder at /path/charizard, run krabby charizard, and then place the output charizard file inside your new /path/charizard folder.I say in theory because I don’t know what output krabby gives you and I don’t know bash, I just googled how piping with xargs works right now. But maybe with this idea you can figure it out.
