$alias can be used to return the filename of the Nth loaded alias file. If you specify a filename, it returns $null if the file is not loaded; otherwise it returns the file's name.


Synopsis[edit]

$alias(N/filename)

Switches[edit]

None

Parameters[edit]

NThe Nth alias file you want to check. If N is 0, this will return the total number of alias files currently loaded.

filenameSpecify an actual filename if you want to explicitly check if an alias file is loaded. This will return $null if no file is loaded, otherwise it returns the file name.

Example[edit]

Echo the total number of alias files currently loaded to the active window

//echo -a $alias(0)

Echo the 3rd alias file name to the active window

//echo -a $alias(3)

Echo if myfile.mrc is currently a loaded alias to the active window

//echo -a $alias(myfile.mrc)
