There are two ways:
zsh, at least with grml's zshrc, allows proper tab completion for
screen sessions:
abe@c-crosser:~ % screen -r <Tab>
completing detached screen process
25983..c-crosser 26065..c-crosser
Pressing Tab several times switches between the offered completions.
The other option is the following small script which needs iselect
from the package of the same name:
screen -rd $(screen -ls | sed -e 's/[ \t][ \t]*/ /g;' | egrep '^ [0-9]' | sed
-e 's/^ //' | iselect -a | awk -F. '{print $1}')
HTH, even if it's about 8 years later. :-)
Regards, Axel
