Greetings,
I am trying to write an interactive Elisp program that will take the
input of a string, and depending what the string is, run a shell
command. I also what to have an error printed if the given shell
command does not exist. This is my attempt at the code so far:
(defun ls ()
(interactive)
(prompt for input? variable?)
(if (string-match "ls" ))
(shell-command "ls -l)
Thanks in advance to anyone who can take the time to answer this
question.
