Hi Eric,
now that I understand a bit more how tab completion works in
matlab-emacs, I found a fix for a little bug/feature which had annoyed
me for some time:
For example, I would like to open a saved figure from file Fig1.fig
In the matlab shell buffer, if I type
open Fig1<tab>
I get the correct completions (Fig1 and Fig1.fig)
If I type
open Fig1.<tab>
[note the extra dot]
then I get the completion
open Fig1.Fig1.fig
The same happens when completing any directory or file name which
contains a ".".
I found that removing the "." character from the regexp in line 4963 of
matlab.el fixes this for me. (There might be some unkown side effects,
though.)
Below is the patch.
