This question already has an answer here:



  • Print the system clipboard content in bash

    2 answers



I very often use a simple curl command to get IP addresses details.
curl ipinfo.io/111.222.333.444



Almost everytime I got the IP address in the clipboard



Is there a way to use a bash variable to automatically have the clipboard value use for IP address?



Ideally I'd like to create an alias
Alias iploc = 'curl ipinfo.io/pbcopy'



So then each time I copy an ip address in clipboard I can just type "iploc" in terminal and get the result.

          You can use xsel to access the clipboard



          iploc='curl ipinfo.io/$(xsel -o)'


          see also Pipe to/from the clipboard in Bash script and How do I send stdin to the clipboard?

          • Thanks Morris. I realised that I did not mention I was on MacOS. I believe xsel is Linux only. I did some research and pbpaste seems to be the equivalent for MacOS. Created that alias: alias iploc='curl ipinfo.io/$(pbpaste)' Works like a charm. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
