Add bash functions

[stocarul]

Create the following bash functions:

• extract: should be a function that gets a file path end extracts it using the appropriate command based on the file extension. The code should be something like this:

function extract {
 if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    # display usage if no parameters given
    echo "Usage: extract <path/file_name>.<zip|rar|bz2|gz|tar|tbz2|tgz|Z|7z|xz|ex|tar.bz2|tar.gz|tar.xz>"
 else
    if [ -f $1 ] ; then
        # NAME=${1%.*}
        # mkdir $NAME && cd $NAME
        case $1 in
          *.tar.bz2)   tar xvjf ../$1    ;;
          *.tar.gz)    tar xvzf ../$1    ;;
          *.tar.xz)    tar xvJf ../$1    ;;
          *.lzma)      unlzma ../$1      ;;
          *.bz2)       bunzip2 ../$1     ;;
          *.rar)       unrar x -ad ../$1 ;;
          *.gz)        gunzip ../$1      ;;
          *.tar)       tar xvf ../$1     ;;
          *.tbz2)      tar xvjf ../$1    ;;
          *.tgz)       tar xvzf ../$1    ;;
          *.zip)       unzip ../$1       ;;
          *.Z)         uncompress ../$1  ;;
          *.7z)        7z x ../$1        ;;
          *.xz)        unxz ../$1        ;;
          *.exe)       cabextract ../$1  ;;
          *)           echo "extract: '$1' - unknown archive method" ;;
        esac
    else
        echo "$1 - file does not exist"
    fi
fi
}

Hey @kmododev, thanks for your suggestion. We've created another issue for it: https://github.com/algotech/dotaliases/issues/60

This issue is for bash functions, like extract that should understand how to extract any kind of archive (zip, tar, ...). If you think of any useful bash functions, please list them here.

@vyasgiridhar: It is assigned to me but unfortunately don't have time for it right now. It would be awesome if you can handle it and I would definitely appreciate your help.
