Aliases

[gitcabezon]

Filter Text appears to be running a limited version of bash in that it ignores aliases in .bashrc and .bash_profile.

I would like to be able to alias "egrep -Pi --color=auto" to "e" so that I can open a log file, run filter text, and enter "e error" and have it show lines with just "error" in them.

Is this even possible with Filter Text without building a wrapper shell script?

(Apologies if this isn't the right place to submit these types of questions/requests.)

@gitcabezon, thanks for the feedback. According to the following article, it's very difficult or even impossible to do it.

Sorry about that...
