bash: tab completion fails with using ~ homedir expansion
Last modified: 2005-08-10 09:42:25 UTC
mkdir ~/"some directory with ()'s" case 1, works: cd ~ cd some<tab> result: cd some\ directory\ with\ \(\)\'s/ case 2, works: cd /home/<user>/some<tab> result: cd /home/jeffm/some\ directory\ with\ \(\)\'s/ case 3, fails: cd ~/some<tab> result: cd ~/some\ directory\ with\ ()'s/ expected result: cd ~/some\ directory\ with\ \(\)\'s/ In case 3, the parens and the ' are not escaped, resulting in a syntax error when the command is entered. This bug is also present in SL9.3. tcsh works fine.
fixed.
