how do i access $1 in a ksh function/alias?

[jouell]

hi

i have a environment file i exec whenever i login that contains all my aliases.

i would like to create an alias or function that helps me use the find command since i use it so often:

fh()
{
it=$1
find . -name $it -print
}


i get : find: missing conjunction

when i run it. any ideas?

thanks!

You can't access arguments in an alias definition.
Instead use a function, for example the following function lists the last created files :
[tt]
der() {
ls -lt "$@" | head
}
[tt]

thanks,

i had an alias AND a function defined so my alias took precedence it appears!
