If I have zstyle ':completion:*' expand suffix then ~/bc01/t/h-b-12-p expands to ~/bc01/test/hci-branch-12-patches (I haven't bothered showing the matcher spec since it obviously works.) If I have zstyle ':completion:*' expand prefix suffix however, I get the list Completing file bc01/test/h-b-12-p bc01/testsclk/h-b-12-p bc01/traces/h-b-12-p Neither of the other two directories contain a match for h-b-12-p. It looks like overeagerness to apply the `prefix' style even if there is actually only one possible match --- I would guess it's applying it before it's done the stuff with matchers. Probably the worst aspect is that the same problem shows up with ~/bc01/test/h-b-12-p, because the first part matches testsclk, which is a bit obscure since it doesn't obviously have anything to do with multiple paths. In this version, I can tickle the bug without the `suffix' part of the expand style. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070 ********************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
