Hi, I am looking for an easy example of a completion script so that I can
start understanding and programming a little bit more complicated one for a
perl script. It that takes the usual --help, --debug, --dir options
but also needs a command (view, dump, export, demux, ...) and then one or
more files (*.crid) from a directory.
I tried to start with _apt because it also uses "commands" but it's way to
complicated for a beginner like me. :-)
If anyone is interested the skript is here:

Thanks,
Andy.

Try looking at _aptitude instead. It's a lot simpler. If you have the
"From bash to Z shell" book, that has an example for completing
subcommands on page 395.

Hm, but the aptitude completion doesn't work with the commands (install,
purge, ...) just the options.
Thanks anyway,
Andy.

It does work with the commands. It runs `aptitude -h' and parses the
result to get a list of the commands (and descriptions) so perhaps you
don't have aptitude installed. If it doesn't find aptitude installed, it
won't complete any commands. Try adding in a manual assignment to the
cmds array:
cmds=( install:install/upgrade\ packages remove:remove\ packages )
You should then see how it should work. You could also look at _xauth
but that doesn't handle options.

Sure do :-)
But "aptitude<TAB>" just beeps.
"aptitude -h" lists all the available options.
Hm, I can't think of any settings in my RCs that would break the aptitude
completion but probably there is one, right? I'll attach my completion
options to this mail. Maybe one of them jumps at your eye...?
But then again... I tried the following:
condor:~>zsh -f
condor% echo $ZSH_VERSION
4.2.5
condor% autoload -U compinit
condor% compinit -u
condor% xauth <TAB>
? -- list available commands
add -- add entry
exit -- save changes and exit program
extract -- extract entries into file
generate -- use server to generate entry
help -- print help
info -- print information about entries
list -- list entries
merge -- merge entries from files
nextract -- numerically extract entries
nlist -- numerically list entries
nmerge -- numerically merge entries
quit -- abort changes and exit program
remove -- remove entries
source -- read commands from file
condor% aptitude <TAB>
BEEP
condor% aptitude --<TAB>
--assume-yes -- assume yes answer to questions
--display-format -- specify output format for search command
--download-only -- just download packages - don't install
--help -- display help information
--prompt -- always display a prompt
--show-deps -- show brief explanations of automatic installations and removals
--show-versions -- show which versions of packages will be installed
--simulate -- print actions without performing them
--sort -- specify sort order
--verbose -- causes some commands to display extra information
--version -- display version information
--width -- specify output width
--with-recommends -- install recommended packages when installing new packages
--with-suggests -- install suggested packages when installing new packages
--without-recommends -- ignore recommended packages when installing new packages
--without-suggests -- ignore suggested packages when installing new packages
So, xauth completion works but aptitude not. Strange, isn't it?
> You could also look at _xauth but that doesn't handle options.
Ah, great, thanks!
Have a nice weekend,
Andy.

It's more likely something in your normal options that is breaking the
parsing of `aptitude -h'. Perhaps the output has changed and you're
running a newer or older version of aptitude. If you're not running
sarge, could you perhaps send me the output.
If aptitude -h is giving you a German (or other) translation, try adding
LC_MESSAGES=C in but I don't think that translation would actually break
it in this particular case.
Otherwise, the best is to start with zsh -f, run compinit and then try
bits of your setup file until it breaks.
Thanks
Oliver

YES, that was it! Of course, why didn't I think of that!?

Thanks, but I found that LC_MESSAGES=C isn't enough.
I have to put LC_ALL=C there, then it works as expected.
Could that be my fault?
In my RCs I've got:
export LANGUAGE=de_DE@euro
export LANG=de_DE@euro
export LC_ALL=de_DE@euro
And what's strange is that "export LC_MESSAGES=C" doesn't change the output
of "locale":
condor:~>locale

English completion is 100% better than nothing. :-)
