Hi, I tried to run the following bash script:
for drive in a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z do alias ${drive}:="cd /cygdrive/${drive}" done I guess, the syntax for the loop is okay, if I replace the alias line with a simple echo command: echo $drive I get a b ... and so on. Doing the following (both at the prompt and within a bash script): drive='c'; alias $drive:="cd /cygdrive/$drive" will lead to the alias as expected. Merely inside the loop it just doesn't seem to work. Any hints?
