    Hi to all,
    I'm facing some problems when adding an alias like:
    #alias list="ls -al | awk '{ print $1, $2, $3, $4, (($5/1048576))"\t", $6, $7, $8, $9 }'"

    and when I enter:
    #list
    I get:
    Syntax Error The source line is 1.
    The error context is
    { print >>> , <<<
    awk: 0602-502 The statement cannot be correctly parsed. The source line is 1.

    Can you tell where the problem can be?
    Thanks
    Enid

    Ok, the solution was:

    alias list="ls -al | awk '{ print \$1, \$2, \$3, \$4, ((\$5/1048576))\"\t\", \$6, \$7, \$8, \$9 }'"

    Thanks,
