Aliases

DexComX supports built-in aliases for faster scripting.

Available Aliases

Alias Full Command
set UPDATE
show VIEW
fields ATTRIBUTES
rm DELETE
del DELETE
ls LISTDIR

Usage Examples

set → UPDATE

-- Instead of:
UPDATE > BALL > France > HEALTH > 105

-- You can use:
set > BALL > France > HEALTH > 105

show → VIEW

-- Instead of:
VIEW > BALL > France

-- You can use:
show > BALL > France

rm / del → DELETE

-- Instead of:
DELETE > BALL > OldBall

-- You can use:
rm > BALL > OldBall
-- or:
del > BALL > OldBall

ls → LISTDIR

-- Instead of:
FILE > LISTDIR > ./

-- You can use:
FILE.ls > ./

fields → ATTRIBUTES

-- Instead of:
ATTRIBUTES > BALL

-- You can use:
fields > BALL

Combining with Scoped Mode

Aliases work with scoped commands too:

-- FILE.ls instead of FILE.LISTDIR
FILE.ls > ./config

-- FILTER.rm instead of FILTER.DELETE
FILTER.rm > BALL > REGIME > Communist

Benefits

  • Faster typing - Less characters to type
  • More readable - Familiar Unix-like commands (ls, rm)
  • Backward compatible - Full commands still work

Tip

Use aliases in interactive sessions for speed, and full commands in scripts for clarity.
