Howto tab completion

Ruby
1

Hello,

I use [1] to process a string from cmdline-user-input to call methods
form a module namespace. It works for
now, but there are later a lot of commands to input so i want
tab-completion because iam lazy :slight_smile:

module CmdsBase
CmdsBase.cmd_foo
DoSomething.new
end

…
end

All methods with /^cmd_(\w*)$/ should be completeable from
commandline.

Any ideas to solve this clean?

[1]

snip:

def self.cmd
begin

  line = gets
  args, i =[], -1
  line.scan(/\w*\s/) do |a|
    a.strip!
    meth = nil
    unless (i+=1).zero? and

    MyBiadjCmdlineCaller.methods.include?(a)
      break if i.zero?
      args.push(a)
    else
      meth = a
    end

    unless args.size.zero? # ignoring input with arguments yet
      MyBiadjCMDLine.ok?(MyBiadjCmdlineCaller.method(meth).call)
    end

  end
end while true

end

So long

Have you tried using the Readline module?

require “readline”
$completions = [“cmd_1”,“cmd_42”,“cmd_one”]
Readline::completion_proc = Proc.new{ |prefix| $completions if prefix
=~ /cmd_/ }
0.upto(4) { line = Readline::readline( "Cmd? ", true ) }

You get the idea…
