Message-ID: <199701041130.GAA01809@cypress.skiles.gatech.edu> (raw)
I think the mailing list manager thought this was
a subscription request, so I don't think it got
through. So I'm forwarding it to the list.

Subject: Compctl for tar -- how to submit to contrib?
To: zsh-workers@math.gatech.edu
I wrote a pretty good (not bugfree, but works 99% of the time for me)
compctl function. It semi-parses the options, and if the action is
extract (x), list (t), or diff (d), it completes other arguments as
files *within* the archive. Of course, it doesn't work with the
archive as STDIN (-), for obvious reasons. I'm not sure how to submit
it to the contrib archive/source distribution, but I figured if I post
it on the list, it'll make its way there eventually. Here it is:
Filename: tar-complete-function
---CUT HERE---
#!/bin/zsh
# tar-complete-function
# This is used with the compctl command. Put this file into your Zsh
# function autoload directory, and put this in your .zshrc:
#
# compctl -K tar-complete-function \
# -x 'C[-1,-*C][-1,--directory]' -g '(|.)*(-/)' \
# - 'C[-1,-*f][-1,--file], p[2] W[1,*f]' -f \
# - 'C[-1,-*T][-1,--files-from]' -f \
# - 'C[-1,-*X][-1,--exclude-from]' -f \
# - 'c[-1,--use-compress-program]' -c \
# -- tar
# autoload tar-complete-function
#
# I also like to use these aliases with this:
# alias untar='tar xvf'
# alias lstar='tar tvf'
# alias zuntar='tar xzvf'
# alias zlstar='tar tzvf'
local comp cmdline action file zopt list elem
comp=$1
read -Ac cmdline
set $cmdline

1=${1#-}

while [[ "$1" != "" ]]; do
if [[ $1 == -*f* && $1 != --* ]]; then
file=${1#-*f}
if [[ "$file" == "" ]]; then
file=$2

file=$2

done
