Re: Substring completion

[sac <sac_urs@yahoo.co.in>]

Hi,

Actually the following does the job.

zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list 'm:{a-z}={A-Z}
m:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z} r:|[._-]=** r:|=** l:|=*'
'm:{a-z}={A-Z}'

The above line is generated by the program
compinstall.
For me its more of a pain than pleasure. Anyway hope
it helps you.

Regards,
sac.
