copied!<p>Here's a generalized version of another completion script I have that does something similar. It assumes a generic hypothetical command "flist", using some directory of files defined by FLIST_DIR to complete the command (omitting options). </p> <p>Modify the following for your program (<code>teamocil</code>), change the default dir from <code>$HOME/flist</code> to <code>$HOME/.teamocil</code>), define your own filters/transformations, etc; and then just source it (e.g., <code>. ~/bin/completion/bash_completion_flist</code>), optionally adding it to your existing list of bash completions. </p> <pre><code># bash_completion_flist: # for some hypothetical command called "flist", # generate completions using a directory of files FLIST_DIR=${FLIST_DIR=:-"$HOME/flist"} _flist_list_files() { ls $FLIST_DIR | sed 's/\..*//' } _flist() { local cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}" COMPREPLY=() [[ ${cur} != -* ]] \ && COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "$(_flist_list_files)" -- ${cur})) } complete -o bashdefault -o default -o nospace -F _flist flist 2>/dev/null \ || complete -o default -o nospace -F _flist flist </code></pre> <p>Notes:</p> <ul> <li>it could be shorter, but this is more or less a template for longer, more complicated completions. (Functions are Good.)</li> <li>the actual completion command (<code>complete -o ...</code>) is a bit of a hack to work across different versions of bash.</li> <li>the suffix stripping is over-simplfied if there are "." in the filename, and is left as an exercise for the reader :-) There are multiple ways to do this (sed, awk, etc); the best is via bash-isms (<code>base=${filename%.*}</code>), but the easiest is arguably the simple sed with some assumptions about the filename format.</li> </ul>
