>Status: Closed Priority: 3 Submitted By: Nobody (None) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: ack-grep (and others): space after partial completion of path Distribution: Debian Originally reported in: None Milestone: None >Status: Invalid Original bug number: Initial Comment: Anonymous message posted by gator...@yahoo.de In many cases I run into the problem that I want to enter a path, enter the first characters, hit return and get the 1st matching directory plus an additional space at the end (which is very annoying, because I have to delete the trailing space before I can continue). One example for this, that I just took a closer look at, is "ack-grep". Let's say I want to grep for "something" in some files in "/usr/local/bin". I enter "ack-grep something /u" and hit return - "/u" is expanded to "/usr/ " When I delete the trailing space and append an "l" the same repeats: "/usr/l" will be expanded to "/usr/local/ " It seems that the problem is the function "__ack_filedir" (even though I can't really spot the problem): when I change the last call to __ack_filedir (in /etc/bash_completion.d/ack-grep) to call "_filedir" instead, completion works without the additional space (I don't know yet, whether this causes other problems ...) (This is on Debian squeeze with bash_completion version 1:1.2-3) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: David Paleino (dapal) Date: 04/05/2011 10:16 Message: Hello, ack-grep is not provided by us. So you should redirect your bug to Ack developers. Regarding your space-after-path problem, please make sure you don't have /etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh -- that breaks bash-completion's _filedir. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=413095&aid=313107&group_id=100114 _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list Bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
