Re: Adding a prefix to certain filename completions

[William Scott <wgscott@chemistry.ucsc.edu>]

Hi Nikolai:

This expands on my previous reply:


#!/bin/zsh -f
#  newvim

inputfilearray=( "$@" )

LIMIT=$#
for ((i = 1; i <= $LIMIT; i++ )) do
        eval file="\$$i"
        if [[ -f $inputfilearray[i] &&
                   $inputfilearray[i] == "$(basename $inputfilearray[i])" ]]
        then
             inputfilearray[i]="./$inputfilearray[i]"
        else
             :
        fi
done

command vim "$inputfilearray"




There is probably an easier way, but it works.

Bill
