Can you make a alias to make alias's?
 
Hey Guys,

I want to make a alias for my whosX command
I was wondering if it wouuld work and if theres any special formats
Example,

I use whosrefiat to dissplay refiats real name and alts using #say
so alias is #alias {whosrefiat} {#say Nexus, Guy2, Guy3, Guy4, exc;#cw aqua}


Could I make a alias that I would type whosx Name1 Name 2 Name 3 Name 4 and it would output a alias like:
#alias {whosname1} {#say name 2, Name 3, Name 4;#cw aqua} ?

A more efficient way would probably be to store all the information into a database variable, such as:

Code:
whodatabase = {refiat="Nexus|Guy2|Guy3|Guy4"|x="Name1|Name2|Name3|Name4"|y="Name1|Name2"}


Then your alias can changed to #ONINPUT and done like this:

Code:
#ONINPUT {^whos(*)} {#IF (%iskey(@whodatabase,%1)) {#SAY {%expandlist(%db(whodatabase,%1),", ")};#CW aqua}}


To make adding names easier, you can also do:

Code:
#ALIAS addwhos {#IF (%iskey(@whodatabase, %1)) {#ADDKEY whodatabase %1 %additem(%-2,%db(whodatabase, %1))} {#ADDKEY whodatabase %1 %-2}}


Then you'd just type:

Code:
addwhos refiat Nexus|Guy1|Guy2|Guy3|Guy4


Hope this helps you out!
