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?

    No, I don’t think they’d have to make an alias for every Pokemon. The person you’re responding to is correct.

    Assuming that the original poster wants to continue to specify which Pokemon they want to see, they’ll at least have to type that in, right?

    If we’re comfortable with that as a requirement, then an alias setting “k” to equal “krabby name” will work when you enter any Pokemon name after “k”.

      I suppose that’s true, though with their vague requirements, I was imagining something more like a REPL, so they could enter as many Pokemon as they wanted in a row, without needing an alias every time.
