I'm trying to build completion control for a rather complicated command, and have run into a snag trying to override the default precedence in the pattern specification for extended completion (what a sentence!). Here's what I have so far: dbobj=(cycle cyclev device file finss gidmap history host job license location m ediatype osref pool poolacl rack saveacl saveset slot uidmap volacl volalias vol ume wo woparam xgid xuid) volparams=(volid volname ansil side flipid nxtid gid uid hostid purdate cerdate cleandate cleancnt initdate accdate mountcnt expdate length capacity slotid onda te nxtlocid offdate cyclevid devid casel barcode mode protection brand density n ote locid mediatypes poolid volstate statedate cycleid cyclename cycv_seq device flipansil flipvolname host location mediatype nxtansil nxtlocation nxtvolname p ool prvansil prvid prvvolname rackname rackid slotname) compctl -k '(add delete modify query)' \ -x 'c[-1,add][-1,delete][-1,modify][-1,query]' -k dbobj - \ 'c[-2,add][-2,delete][-2,modify][-2,query] c[-1,volume] s[-] , s[-m_]' -k volparams -- sc Unfortunately, what need to do with the second pattern set is say: if two words ago was one of 'add delete modify, or query', and one word ago was 'volume' and the current word starts with - or -m_, then match with any of the volparams array. Unfortunately, the default precedence appears to and the c[-1,volume] and s[-] before the or'ing of s[-] , s[-m_]. Suggestions? Also, any suggestions on cleaning this up in general would be appreciated. This could end up being one of the longest compctl's ever built! Which brings up another question: what's the max length of one of these?
