Code: c { if ($1 == 1) return 0 if ($1 == 2) return 2 if ($1 == 3) return 3 if ($1 == 4) return 4 if ($1 == 5) return 5 if ($1 == 6) return 6 if ($1 == 7) return 7 if ($1 == 8) return 8 if ($1 == 9) return 9 if ($1 == 10) return 10 if ($1 == 11) return 11 if ($1 == 12) return 12 if ($1 == 13) return 13 if ($1 == 14) return 14 if ($1 == 15) return 15 } this kinda works, it gets the job done. but, not excatly what i was thinking of.... the way this is you have to space the alias and target to get the result. EG: $c 4 test would return test . can i improve this some, so that it maybe yet a bit shorter in the code strings(plus make it look neater) ?????

Using Double Digits Is Recommended(00,01,02,etc). Example: //echo -a $c(12,Hello) $c(04,There) $c(07,How Are You) $+ $c(03,?) Outputs: Hello There How Are You?
