2008-08-03 15:48:29 Thomas Guyot-Sionnest description Binary package hint: bash It appear as though Bash autocompletes the "date" command within backquotes, but fails to do so properly: $ touch ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt $ ls ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt /home/dermoth/some_file_2008-08-03.txt So far this works, but if I press the <TAB> key at the end of the command: $ ls ~/some_file`date /home/dermoth/some_file_2008-08-03.txt The autocompletion doesn't overwrite the whole argument and leaves "~/some_file`date " in front of it. This bug could be related to Bug #219406 Binary package hint: bash With Bash programable autocomplete (/etc/bash_completion), commands within backquotes containing a space doesn't get autocompleted properly: $ touch ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt $ ls ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt /home/gaby/some_file_2008-08-03.txt So far this works, but if I press the <TAB> key at the end of the command: $ ls ~/some_file`date /home/gaby/some_file_2008-08-03.txt The autocompletion doesn't overwrite the whole argument and leaves "~/some_file`date " in front of it. This bug could be related to Bug #219406 PS: The backquotes feature works only with bash programmed completion (/etc/bash_completion).
