However, i did mean "based on command" which is why i called it advanced. I had checked out bash-completion before asking for help, but couldnt get it to work. Perhaps I just need to try harder.
I specifically meant cases like: when doing javac, only a java file should be completed, when doing java only the base portion should be completed, when doing a "cd" only directories should be completed, when doing a cat or less, only a text file etc. Thanks for all the answers. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: A Thawte Code Signing Certificate is essential in establishing user confidence by providing assurance of authenticity and code integrity.
