How can I disable Term::ReadLine
's default completion, or rather, make it stop suggesting filename completions at some point?
For example, what do I need to replace return()
with in order to inhibit the default completion from the second word onwards?
Neither of these works:
$attribs->{'filename_completion_function'}=undef;
$attribs->{'rl_inhibit_completion'}=1;
use Term::ReadLine;
my $term = new Term::ReadLine 'sample';
my $attribs = $term->Attribs;
$attribs->{attempted_completion_function} = \&sample_completion;
sub sample_completion {
my ( $text, $line, $start, $end ) = @_;
# If first word then username completion, else filename completion
if ( substr( $line, 0, $start ) =~ /^\s*$/ ) {
return $term->completion_matches( $text,
$attribs->{'username_completion_function'} );
}
else {
return ();
}
}
while ( my $input = $term->readline( "> " ) ) {
...
}
Define completion_function
instead of attempted_completion_function
:
$attribs->{completion_function} = \&completion;
And then return undef
if completion should stop, and return $term->completion_matches($text, $attribs->{filename_completion_function})
if filename completion is to take over.
In the following example, nothing is suggested for the first parameter, but filenames are for the second parameter.
use Term::ReadLine;
my $term = new Term::ReadLine 'sample';
my $attribs = $term->Attribs;
$attribs->{completion_function} = \&completion;
sub completion {
my ( $text, $line, $start ) = @_;
if ( substr( $line, 0, $start ) =~ /^\s*$/) {
return
} else {
return $term->completion_matches($text, $attribs->{filename_completion_function})
}
}
while ( my $input = $term->readline ("> ") ) {
exit 0 if $input eq "q";
}
