alias
I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong with this one. I'm trying to run the command
alias localip='ip -4 -o addr show eth0 | egrep -o '([[:digit:]]{1,3}\.){3}[[:digit:]]{1,3}' | head -n 1'
If I run the command
ip -4 -o addr show eth0 | egrep -o '([[:digit:]]{1,3}\.){3}[[:digit:]]{1,3}' | head -n 1
I get the result I expect, however, when trying to create an alias with the command, I get
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
Any help would be appreciated. TIA.
