I would like to make an alias for eshell so I can use the command
grep --include="*.org" --include="*.texi" -hir -C "$1" "$2" "$3"
Have tried the following but the tactic failed.
alias grepot 'grep --include="*.org" --include="*.texi" -hir -C "$1" "$2" "$3"'

alias grepot '\*grep --include="*.org" --include="*.texi" -hir -C "$1" "$2" "$3"'
I just believe by doing above you may do that.
I could see that I had to escape * in front of grep as only *grep will
use the system command grep. In eshell Emacs functions have priority
so $ grep alone would invoke Emacs grep and show it in the buffer.
I believe you want it shown in the eshell, right?

You are quite right. Yes in the eshell.
