Subject: Bug? multicomp no longer works for paths starting with tilde (~)
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 12:08:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <980819120806.ZM11746@candle.brasslantern.com> (raw)
The multicomp function seems to assume that
newtop=${~origtop}
will expand to the user's home directory, but that doesn't happen. Later,
reply=(${~reply})
also doesn't expand the home directory, and hence finds no matches.
This seems to apply to both 3.0.5 and 3.1.4. Am I just misunderstanding
what's supposed to be happening? I reverted back to the baseline 3.1.4
version of multicomp, and it still won't complete anything starting with
a tilde.
The following seems to work better, but messes up if there are wildcards
following the tilde. Suggestions?
