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.

(defun test-ls (cmd)
(interactive "sString: ")
(if (string-match "ls" cmd)
(shell-command "ls -l")
(message "Command %s does not exist." cmd)))
see "C-h f interactive RET"
