HejHej, I was writing a bash-completion for a command of a project I am working at. Thing is, we have commands like this:
> jailhouse cell stats --name "Hello World"
This "Hello World" is parsed from sysfs and that can be done with simple
bash. But how can I program the bash-completion in a way that it would
auto-complete this:
> jailhouse cell stats --name Hello<tab>
At the moment it can't handle this and would just print the two words as
single option. The corresponding code looks like this:
> local cur quoted_cur quoted
>
> _quote_readline_by_ref "${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}" quoted_cur
> ....
> for n in /sys/devices/jailhouse/cells/*; do
> _quote_readline_by_ref "${n##*/}" quoted
> names="${names} ${quoted}"
> done
> ....
> COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W "--name ${names}" -- ${quoted_cur} ) )
That doesn't work. I see that you guys solved it for stuff like
filenames, but how, I can't seem to figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated (I am not registered on the list).
