Get-Alias

[Joe Caverly]

Hi,
While TCC has the ALIAS command to list all currently defined aliases, I find it a bit difficult to read. I have written a simple batch file that lists all currently defined aliases in two columns.

@setlocal
@if %_echo eq 1 @echo off
if %@len[%@alias[%1]] eq 0 goto showall
if %@len[%@alias[%1]] gt 0 goto showit
goto eoj

:showit
gosub headers
screen %_row  0 %1
screen %_row 16 %@alias[%1]
goto eoj

:showall
gosub headers
alias > clip:
setdos /X-45678
do theline in @clip:
  screen %_row  0 %@word["=",0,%theline]
  screen %_row 16 %@alias[%@word["=",0,%theline]]
  ::
  :: If your aliases are too long, you could un-comment the following line;
  ::
  ::screen %_row 16 %@left[60,%@word["=",1,%theline]]
  ::
  echo.
enddo
setdos /X0
goto eoj

:headers
screen %_row  0 Name
screen %_row 16 Definition
echo.
screen %_row  0 ----
screen %_row 16 ----------
echo.
return

:eoj
endlocal

alias | list /sn
not as easy to read but you get use to it

alias | list /sn

My 2 Cents:
Alias ShowAlias=ALIAS | SORT | LIST /s

I would provide choice to list subsets:
Alias ShowAlias=`*ALIAS %$ | SORT | LIST /s `
(cmd style)
Alias ShowAlias=`*ALIAS %$& | SORT | LIST /s `
(4DOS style)
Notice the * in front of ALIAS so it could work on anyone's system, even if they already have a different definition of ALIAS...
