Simple 'dict' function. |

I use http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ on a daily basis. I've got a |
|
bookmark in my GUI browser to access the site quickly. However, today |
|
I realized that my searches are in the form URL/word_I_want_to_look_up |
|
and I thought that it could be much more handy and faster to use a CLI |
|
browser like elinks (one of my favourites) or lynx. |
|
|
|
So I wrote a very simple function to ease my searches: |
|
|
|
dict () |
|
{ |
|
URL="http://www.thefreedictionary.com" |
|
BROWSER="lynx" |
|
|
|
$BROWSER ${URL}/${1} |
|
} |
|
|
|
Now I just have to type: dict word_I_want_to_look_up and enjoy |
