Gaurish,

	Thanks. That's cool and has given me a couple of more ideas. Here a couple more
of my favorites for .bashrc. I don't know what everyone else does for pacman
aliases, but I just use the pm<stuff> shown below:

## functions

wgnc()
{
if [[ -z $1 ]]; then
        echo -e "\n  Usage:  wg <filename>\t\t(runs wget --no-check-certificate
--progress=bar)\n"
else
        wget --no-check-certificate --progress=bar $1
fi
}

showhist() {
[[ -z $1 ]] && { echo -e "\nUsage:  hist <search term>\n"; return 1; }
history | grep $1
return 0
}

mkdircd() {
[[ -z $1 ]] && { echo -e "\nUsage:  mdcd <newdir>\n"; return 1; }
mkdir -p $1 && cd $1 || { echo -e "\n  Failed to make or change to directory:
$1\n"; return 1; }
return 0
}

perledinln() {
if [[ ! -f $2 ]]; then
    echo -e "\n  Usage ${0##*/} REGEX filename\n\n    Will edit the file
in-place based on REGEX using perl\n"
else
    REGEX=$1
    INFILE=$2
    perl -p -i -e $REGEX $INFILE
fi
}

fnkwrite() { [[ -f $1 ]] && ( /opt/kde/bin/kwrite $1 & ) || (
/opt/kde/bin/kwrite & ); }
fnkate() { [[ -f $1 ]] && ( /opt/kde/bin/kate $1 & ) || ( /opt/kde/bin/kate & ); }

## aliases

alias hist='showhist'
alias mdcd='mkdircd'
alias ppie='perledinln'
alias wg='wgnc'
alias kw='fnkwrite'
alias ka='fnkate'

#
## pacman aliases  (of course just remove sudo for root .bashrc)
#

alias pm='sudo pacman'
alias pmq='sudo pacman -Q'
alias pmql='sudo pacman -Ql'
alias pmqi='sudo pacman -Qi'
alias pmr='sudo pacman -R'
alias pms='sudo pacman -Sy --needed'
alias pmss='sudo pacman -Ss'
alias pmu='sudo pacman -U'
alias pmsu='sudo pacman --sync --refresh --sysupgrade'
