    Firstly, this does not answer the question - maybe you answered the wrong question? Secondly, why would you ever define a function inside an alias? You should just do function oline() { sed -e ":a;N;\$!ba ;s?\n? ?g"; }. Thirdly, this sed would be a lot more understandable with awk: awk -F '\n' 'ORS=" " { print } END { printf "\n"}' Commented Jun 23, 2020 at 21:42
