[SOLVED] [Bash] How to include quote?

[littlebigman]

Hello

I've been Googling for this for over half an hour, and still can't get this alias to work :-/

I'd like to add an alias "lld" to only list directories:

# cat /etc/bash.bashrc
[...]
#BAD alias lld = 'ls -l | egrep '^d''
#BAD alias lld = 'ls -l | egrep \'^d\''
#BAD alias lld = "ls -l | egrep '^d'"
#BAD alias lld = "ls -l | egrep \'^d\'"
#BAD alias lld = "ls -l | egrep '\'^d'\'"

I make sure I log off and log back on, but I'm still getting "No command 'lld' found, did you mean:".

Does someone know how to add an alias that includes a quote, or an alternative to eqrep that doesn't require quotes altogether?

Thank you.

alias lld='ls -l | egrep '^d''

Works for me.

I edited the file, saved, and then sourced it:

source /etc/bash.bashrc

As HROAdmin26 say's it works the extra space round the = is the problem.
If you want to preserve the quotes round the ^d then
try

alias lld="ls -l | egrep '^d'"

Thanks guys. I didn't know Bash would barf because of extra spaces between/after the "=" sign, and without being explicit about it :-/
