There's nothing builtin for that kind of functionality and is much easier
said than done. I did write up an AppleScript that works decently well from
my mild testing. There's a bit that could be cleaned up from it and likely
simplified. If someone wants to improve upon go ahead.
Essentially, it tries determine any file path in front of the text cursor
(e.g., ../images/tes), then splits it out into directory and partial file
name. It also has to find out what directory the currently edited file
exists. Parsing out all of this it builds a command in the form of,
ls -A1 <relative directory> | grep "partialFileName"
If one result comes back, it replaces the partial file name with it. If
more than one is found it displays a message that more than one match was
found. If a file path couldn't be found it doesn't do anything. This works
for the current directory as well, whether you give ./ or just the start of
the name.
Just copy and paste the script below into AppleScript Editor and save it
the BBEdit's script folder. Then you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it
if you want quick access. Again, the code it a little dirty and not well
tested, but seems to work OK, just don't try and trick it.
------------------------------------
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
set lineNum to startLine of selection
set aaa to (characterOffset of line (startLine of selection)) of front
window
set zzz to (characterOffset of selection)
set cursorPos to zzz - aaa
set linestr to characters 1 thru cursorPos of line lineNum of front
window
set theResult to find "([\\w\\.\\-\\/_]+)" options {search mode:grep,
backwards:true} searching in linestr
set startstr to ""
if found of theResult then
set startstr to found text of theResult
end if
set pre to ""
set partial to startstr
if startstr contains "/" then
set delim to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "/"
set partial to last text item of startstr
set idx to 1
repeat (count text item of startstr) - 1 times
if idx > 1 then set pre to pre & "/"
set pre to pre & text item idx of startstr
set idx to idx + 1
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to delim
end if
-- no partial filename, give up
if partial = "" then return
-- find pwd of document
set fp to (POSIX path of (file of front window as string))
set fpchars to characters of fp
set fprev to reverse of fpchars
set fpdir to characters 1 thru ((length of fp) - (offset of "/" in
(fprev as string))) of fp
set cmd to "cd " & (quoted form of (fpdir as string)) & "; ls -A1 " &
pre & " | grep \"" & partial & "\""
--display dialog cmd
set cmdR to ""
try
set cmdR to do shell script cmd
on error theErr
display dialog theErr
return
end try
if cmdR contains return then
-- More than one file/folder matches
display dialog "Multiple matches"
return
end if
set startPartial to cursorPos - (length of partial) + 1
set characters startPartial thru cursorPos of line lineNum of front
window to cmdR
end tell
