Make a Bash alias that takes a parameter?

Question

I used to use CShell (csh), which lets you make an alias that takes a parameter. The notation was something like

alias junk=\"mv \\\\!* ~/.Trash\"
         


        

Answer 1

To give specific answer to the Question posed about creating the alias to move the files to Trash folder instead of deleting them:

alias rm="mv "$1" -t ~/.Trash/"

Offcourse you have to create dir ~/.Trash first.

Then just give following command:

$rm 
$rm
