Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Nikita Ilyushkin (ilyushkeane-guest) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Strange autocompletion behavior when use ' (apostroph) in PATH variable Distribution: Debian Originally reported in: None Milestone: None Status: None Original bug number: Initial Comment: http://askubuntu.com/questions/415043/strange-autocompletion-behavior Situation: expanding PATH variable influence word completion, based on whether was apostrophes in additional path or not. Example: I have an exe file (called "deadbeef") with appropriate exe rights, which path contains 2 apostrophes: /home/mallniya/hard'n'soft/soft/gnu-linux/portable/deadbeef-0.6.0 Specialy for an experiment I put the same file to the /home/mallniya/hardnsoftaa/soft/gnu-linux/portable/deadbeef-0.6.0 If I export first path to the variable $PATH there will be no autocompletion in bash, but will be in a second case. Example: When I type in terminal first letters of program, which resides in exported directory, and then use TAB for completion : dead [TAB] there is no completion in first case, but when I use TAB with the same word in second condition - it works. Moreover, both which and type commands tells, that exe file is existed in both case. So if I type command "deadbeef" in first case manually - it also executes. So what's the problem? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=413095&aid=314592&group_id=100114 _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list Bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
