Subject: file-patterns problem
Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2000 18:57:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E12NguT-0007Bk-00.2000-02-23-18-53-17@cmailg4.svr.pol.co.uk> (raw)
I'm sure there are going to be more ramifications of the user guide chapter
on completion (indeed, I've got a file of remarks which I'll need to
reprocess), but here's something that arose because Bart didn't like the
way I'd described file-patterns (thanks to Bart and Sven for some
corrections etc.). The description now looks like this:
It was explained above for the tag-order style that when a function
uses pattern matching to generate file completions, such as all *.ps
files or all *.gz files, the three tags globbed-files,
all-files and directories are tried. When you set something with
file-patterns, all three tags are automatically activated. So, for
example, after
zstyle ':completion:*:*:foo:*:*' file-patterns '*.yo'
the command named `foo' will complete files ending in `.yo', as
well as directories. For once, you don't have to change the completer to
do this: `foo' isn't specially handled, so does default completion,
and that means completing files, so that file-patterns is active
anyway.
You can now set up your tag-order style to include
globbed-patterns, which represents the `.yo' files, and
directories and all-files; suppose you want to make the `.yo'
files and the directories appear at the same time:
zstyle ':completion:*:*:foo:*:*' tag-order 'directories globbed-files'
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work --- I don't get the directories,
even if there aren't any .yo files. I can't see what's going wrong. I can
add `*(-/)' to the globbed files list, of course, but then they're
naturally regarded as attached to the globbed-files tag. Maybe I've got
the wrong end of the stick somewhere.
The other issue, with the position of the `predict' in its context, has
just been sorted out.
