Won't this be more problematic than helpful?  There may be more matches
of stuff that's not part of the file name.  And spaces in file names
aren't that common in non-Windowsey environments...

bug#8439: [PATCH] ffap.el -- detect paths with spaces (v2)

[Jari Aalto]

With some more field testing, the following patch works better.

  1. New variable ffap-paths-with-spaces controls if the behavior is in use.
     By default it is set to "t" in Windows/Cygwin where spaces in paths
     are encountered.

  2. The "path skipping" is based on finding longest distance:

     - from first "drive letter", "/" or "\"
     - until last "/", "\" followed by last non-matching-char-not-usually-found-in-file-names

  3. In Cygwin Emacs the paths are expected to be in "/cygdrive/<letter>/"
     format. This is handled as a last step.

Test by placing cursor anywhere of these path names and evaluating with
"M-:" the lisp code "(ffap-string-at-point)" over them:

  ;; c:/Program Files/Open Text Evaluation Media/Open Text Exceed 14 x86/Program here.txt
  ;; c:/Program Files/Open Text Evaluation Media/Open Text Exceed 14 x86/Program Files/Hummingbird/
  ;; c:\Program Files\Freescale\CW for MPC55xx and MPC56xx 2.10\PowerPC_EABI_Tools\Command_Line_Tools\CLT_Usage_Notes.txt

It is not possible to test the above paths with "M-x ffap" as the code by
design starts to chop path components if the path does not exist in current
environment. See:

  (defun ffap-file-at-point ()

  ...near the end....

  ;; Try all parent directories by deleting the trailing directory
  ;; name until existing directory is found or name stops changing

I'm sure the patch is not perfect as it's hard to come by a strategy to
deal with spaces but it appears to give good results. I think users' would
benefit from the space detection support.

Thanks for Yigal Hochberg for testing the functionality in Windows,
Jari

GNU Coding Standards frown upon using "path" for anything except
PATH-style lists of directories.  Use "file name" or "leading
directories" instead.

What will this do to text such as the one below?

 C:\emacs\bin\prog1.exe on Windows or /usr/bin/prog1 on Unix.

What about Posix-standard /foo/bar/baz, which is the usual case on
Cygwin?

User can enable/disable if spaces are taken into account. If enabled,
the result is:

  "C:\emacs\bin\prog1.exe on Windows or /usr/bin/prog1"

If disabled, depending on cursor position:

  "C:\emacs\bin\prog1.exe"
  "/usr/bin/prog1"

If you have strategiy to make it better, please suggest.

Only "<drive letter>:" is converted into "/cygdrive/<drive letter>" under
Cygwin.

Hi Jari, Eli:

A thank you note for Jari.

I asked Jari if he could improve ffap to match these Windows paths like
this:

c:/Program Files/Freescale/CW for MPC55xx and MPC56xx
2.10/PowerPC_EABI_Tools/Command_Line_Tools/CLT_EABI_PPC_Tools_Notes.txt
c:\Program Files\Freescale\CW for MPC55xx and MPC56xx
2.10\PowerPC_EABI_Tools\Command_Line_Tools\CLT_Usage_Notes.txt
c:/Program Files/Open Text Evaluation Media/Open Text Exceed 14 x86/Program
Files/Hummingbird/Connectivity/14.00/Default User/PerUser Settings.ini
c:\Program Files\Open Text Evaluation Media\Open Text Exceed 14 x86\Program
Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\14.00\Default User\PerUser Settings.ini
c:/Program Files/Open Text Evaluation Media/Open Text Exceed 14 x86/Program
Files/Hummingbird/
c:\Program Files\Open Text Evaluation Media\Open Text Exceed 14 x86\Program
Files\Hummingbird\

From a user view this is a very helpful and useful solution to get to these
files/dirs in one keystroke.

Thanks to Jari for the hard work.

I will report if I find issues.

Regards,

Yigal

Why would it exclude the " on Unix." part?

> If you have strategiy to make it better, please suggest.

(I don't use ffap, so take the below with a grain of salt.)

Several things come to mind:

 . You could modify the heuristics depending on the major mode.  E.g.,
   if it's Text or anything derived from text, file names with spaces
   will generally be delimited by quotes.

 . You could by default stop "skipping" when you see common words like
   "on", "and", "or", "and/or", etc.

 . You could by default stop when the slash flavor changes, like first
   \, then / (see my example).

 . At least in text modes, punctuation (with the notable exception of
   a period) will not normally be part of a file name.

Sorry, I don't follow.  You said "In Cygwin Emacs the paths are
_expected_ to be", so I assumed you mean the file names on Cygwin are
_required_ to be in the /cygdrive/x/foo form.  Maybe I misunderstood
what you meant.

From the example, I'd suggest that if there is a period followed by up
to three letters and then a space, the filename ends before that space.
From what I see, most filenames which have an extension don't have more
text after the extension (with the exception of another extension, which
is why I suggest that there must be a final space). Would that fit  ?

Eli, excuse me very much, but you cheating.  Even under Unix (where
spaces inside filenames are very unusual) people instinctively trying
heavy to distinguish/decorate them from outside/descriptive text.  The
only one problem that there no consensus about how to do it.  What
characters pair to use? <>? ""? ''?  But anyway just separate filename
with possible spaces just by spaces...  It's out of my ability to
imagine.  Therefore, I would to discard this example as rare.  After
all, any heuristic have his own false positives (and it is the reason,
why I said "cheating": for every heuristic it's always possible to
imagine a situation/input data when heuristic will fail).

But, if there no way to make false positives amount small enough, I
would to propose an idea for extension: find-file-at-region().  You
just select a region of text, and Emacs tries to interprets it as
default value for find-file().

Actually, I had this weird idea that maybe the suggested heuristics
could be improved.  Now I'm sorry that I have spoken.

[Yigal Hochberg]

Eli, Andrew:

What Jari did is an excellent solution (increment cheeking if file exists).
From a user point of view it is very powerful and useful.

Marking a region is trivial but way too costly for me. I want to be one keystroke 
away from getting this file. On Windows I use these type of paths:

c:/Program Files/Open Text Evaluation Media/Open Text Exceed 14 x86/Program Files/Hummingbird/Connectivity/14.00/Default User/PerUser Settings.ini
c:\Program Files\Open Text Evaluation Media\Open Text Exceed 14 x86\Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\14.00\Default User\PerUser Settings.ini

c:/Program Files/Open Text Evaluation Media/Open Text Exceed 14 x86/Program Files/Hummingbird/
c:\Program Files\Open Text Evaluation Media\Open Text Exceed 14 x86\Program Files\Hummingbird\

With Jari solution I can get to the file/dir in one keystroke.
I think that this is the power of emacs. No?

Thanks,

Yigal

O, sorry, sorry and sorry again!  I ever didn't mind that my
"fallback" proposal can sound so seriously!  It was intended as a very
last resort, if there will be no reasonable way to avoid 50%/50% false
positive/negative ratio.  Logic was very simple: in any way to mark a
region and call a function is faster than to mark a region, copy, call
a function, paste and, optionally if copied pathname is relative, move
to the beginning of the pasted pathname and then to kill to the
beginning of minibuffer.

Sorry Andrew,

Marking a region is missing the whole point of ffap.
One single keystroke to get to what you wanna do - no more.

I don't see the relationship with cheating.  Yes, his example is
probably not too important, but I think if we want to add support for
spaces we first need to decide which cases we want to handle, since the
general case is simply impossible.

Here are some disorganized thoughts:
- many of the examples shown in this thread have to do with "one file
  name per line".  But if noone tells us beforehand that the file name
  goes to EOL, handling these well will unavoidably end up with too many
  false positives.
- we should think of good hints for beginning/end of file names.
  E.g. I think if we find something that matches "['\">,.][ \n]", we
  should probably assume it's the end of the file name (EOFN).
  Or " /" is probably a BOFN, whereas "/ " is an EOFN.
- maybe if the separators are forward slashes, we should assume that
  there's no space in the file name.

M-w C-x C-f C-y already handles this case.

They are unusual for Unix native files but not rare when files
created on Windows reach Unix file systems.  So this problem
is not unique to Windows (only the drive letter part of the problem
is Windows-specific).

ffap used to fetch the selected region until Stefan removed this feature
with the following comment:

             (let ((mark-active nil))
               ;; Don't use the region here, since it can be something
               ;; completely unwieldy.  If the user wants that, she could
               ;; use M-w before and then C-y.  --Stef

I have no problem with this change because ffap still can successfully fetch
filenames with spaces due to `ffap-completable' that works surprisingly well
in most cases (it incorrectly highlights the filename part until the first
space, but correctly fetches the complete filename with spaces).

A few comments about your patch below.

Test system-type instead.

Better match the buffer (e.g. with forward-line + looking-at, or in this
case with skip-chars-backward + bolp) than extract a part of the buffer
and then apply string-match to it.

Please terminate your comments with proper punctuation.

This code seems to assume Windows-style file names, whereas none of the
var names nor comments mention anything about this assumption.

I'm not sure we should make this assumption, but it's probably OK to
consider that spaces only appear in Windows-style file names.  Just make
this reasoning explicit in a comment.

> +	       (when (and ffap-paths-with-spaces

This regexp needs some explanation.  Also I don't like the control&data
flow very much, here, so you need to compensate this complexity by
explaining clearly what this `space-p' is supposed to represent.
Same about `end'.

> +	              (setq end (point))

> +				    (setq end space-p))

As mentioned, the control&data flow is pretty ugly, but even then
I think the (memq mode '(file nil)) is redundant because space-p can
only be non-nil if (memq mode '(file nil)) is non-nil.

This shouldn't be here: the right way to do it  is to make the Cygwin
Emacs accept Windows-style file name.

Stefan is right. But if you do want to convert Cygwin paths in some other
context, please use cygwin-convert-path-from-windows and
cygwin-convert-path-to-windows instead of hard-coding a particular mapping. (Not
everyone's Cygwin drive prefix is "/cygdrive".)

Included. I also worked on Eli's ideas about detecting "/" or "\" near
point.

The patch has increased significantly as there are no easy way to deal
with spaces. For test cases I've used, it looks promising.

Here is also ffap.el with the patch included for "live" testing.

;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Command find-file-at-point replaces find-file.  With a prefix, it
;; behaves exactly like find-file.  Without a prefix, it first tries
;; to guess a default file or URL from the text around the point
;; (`ffap-require-prefix' swaps these behaviors).  This is useful for
;; following references in situations such as mail or news buffers,
;; README's, MANIFEST's, and so on.  Submit bugs or suggestions with
;; M-x ffap-bug.
;;
;; For the default installation, add this line to your init file:
;;
;; (ffap-bindings)                      ; do default key bindings
;;
;; ffap-bindings makes the following global key bindings:
;;
;; C-x C-f		find-file-at-point (abbreviated as ffap)
;; C-x C-r		ffap-read-only
;; C-x C-v		ffap-alternate-file
;;
;; C-x d		dired-at-point
;; C-x C-d		ffap-list-directory
;;
;; C-x 4 f		ffap-other-window
;; C-x 4 r		ffap-read-only-other-window
;; C-x 4 d		ffap-dired-other-window
;;
;; C-x 5 f		ffap-other-frame
;; C-x 5 r		ffap-read-only-other-frame
;; C-x 5 d		ffap-dired-other-frame
;;
;; S-mouse-3     ffap-at-mouse
;; C-S-mouse-3   ffap-menu
;;
;; ffap-bindings also adds hooks to make the following local bindings
;; in vm, gnus, and rmail:
;;
;; M-l         ffap-next, or ffap-gnus-next in gnus (l == "link")
;; M-m         ffap-menu, or ffap-gnus-menu in gnus (m == "menu")
;;
;; If you do not like these bindings, modify the variable
;; `ffap-bindings', or write your own.
;;
;; If you use ange-ftp, browse-url, complete, efs, or w3, it is best
;; to load or autoload them before ffap.  If you use ff-paths, load it
;; afterwards.  Try apropos {C-h a ffap RET} to get a list of the many
;; option variables.  In particular, if ffap is slow, try these:
;;
;; (setq ffap-alist nil)                ; faster, dumber prompting
;; (setq ffap-machine-p-known 'accept)  ; no pinging
;; (setq ffap-url-regexp nil)           ; disable URL features in ffap
;; (setq ffap-shell-prompt-regexp nil)  ; disable shell prompt stripping
;;
;; ffap uses `browse-url' (if found, else `w3-fetch') to fetch URL's.
;; For a hairier `ffap-url-fetcher', try ffap-url.el (same ftp site).
;; Also, you can add `ffap-menu-rescan' to various hooks to fontify
;; the file and URL references within a buffer.

\f
;;; Change Log:
;;
;; The History and Contributors moved to ffap.LOG (same ftp site),
;; which also has some old examples and commentary from ffap 1.5.

\f
;;; Todo list:
;; * use kpsewhich
;; * let "/dir/file#key" jump to key (tag or regexp) in /dir/file
;; * find file of symbol if TAGS is loaded (like above)
;; * break long menus into multiple panes (like imenu?)
;; * notice node in "(dired)Virtual Dired" (quotes, parentheses, whitespace)
;; * notice "machine.dom blah blah blah dir/file" (how?)
;; * as w3 becomes standard, rewrite to rely more on its functions
;; * regexp options for ffap-string-at-point, like font-lock (MCOOK)
;; * v19: could replace `ffap-locate-file' with a quieter `locate-library'
;; * handle "$(VAR)" in Makefiles
;; * use the font-lock machinery

bug#8439: [PATCH] ffap.el -- detect paths with spaces (v4)

[jari]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 738 bytes --]

On 2012-10-20 10:11:56 Eli Zaretskii:
| Someone said in another discussion that Cygwin already does accept
| Windows-style file names.

Cygwin Emacs 24.2.1:

   C-x C-f c:/test.txt
   => Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its parents

   C-x C-f c:\test.txt
   => Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its parents

| On 2012-10-20 18:49:10 Daniel Colascione:
| please use cygwin-convert-path-from-windows and

In this patch (compared to previous v3):

   - remove functions related to Cygwin and use cygwin-convert-path-from-windows

   - obey END parameter in ffap-search-backward-file-end as originally
     intended

   - correct "path-separator" term into "dir-separator" everywhere

;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Command find-file-at-point replaces find-file.  With a prefix, it
;; behaves exactly like find-file.  Without a prefix, it first tries
;; to guess a default file or URL from the text around the point
;; (`ffap-require-prefix' swaps these behaviors).  This is useful for
;; following references in situations such as mail or news buffers,
;; README's, MANIFEST's, and so on.  Submit bugs or suggestions with
;; M-x ffap-bug.
;;
;; For the default installation, add this line to your init file:
;;
;; (ffap-bindings)                      ; do default key bindings
;;
;; ffap-bindings makes the following global key bindings:
;;
;; C-x C-f		find-file-at-point (abbreviated as ffap)
;; C-x C-r		ffap-read-only
;; C-x C-v		ffap-alternate-file
;;
;; C-x d		dired-at-point
;; C-x C-d		ffap-list-directory
;;
;; C-x 4 f		ffap-other-window
;; C-x 4 r		ffap-read-only-other-window
;; C-x 4 d		ffap-dired-other-window
;;
;; C-x 5 f		ffap-other-frame
;; C-x 5 r		ffap-read-only-other-frame
;; C-x 5 d		ffap-dired-other-frame
;;
;; S-mouse-3     ffap-at-mouse
;; C-S-mouse-3   ffap-menu
;;
;; ffap-bindings also adds hooks to make the following local bindings
;; in vm, gnus, and rmail:
;;
;; M-l         ffap-next, or ffap-gnus-next in gnus (l == "link")
;; M-m         ffap-menu, or ffap-gnus-menu in gnus (m == "menu")
;;
;; If you do not like these bindings, modify the variable
;; `ffap-bindings', or write your own.
;;
;; If you use ange-ftp, browse-url, complete, efs, or w3, it is best
;; to load or autoload them before ffap.  If you use ff-paths, load it
;; afterwards.  Try apropos {C-h a ffap RET} to get a list of the many
;; option variables.  In particular, if ffap is slow, try these:
;;
;; (setq ffap-alist nil)                ; faster, dumber prompting
;; (setq ffap-machine-p-known 'accept)  ; no pinging
;; (setq ffap-url-regexp nil)           ; disable URL features in ffap
;; (setq ffap-shell-prompt-regexp nil)  ; disable shell prompt stripping
;;
;; ffap uses `browse-url' (if found, else `w3-fetch') to fetch URL's.
;; For a hairier `ffap-url-fetcher', try ffap-url.el (same ftp site).
;; Also, you can add `ffap-menu-rescan' to various hooks to fontify
;; the file and URL references within a buffer.

\f
;;; Change Log:
;;
;; The History and Contributors moved to ffap.LOG (same ftp site),
;; which also has some old examples and commentary from ffap 1.5.

\f
;;; Todo list:
;; * use kpsewhich
;; * let "/dir/file#key" jump to key (tag or regexp) in /dir/file
;; * find file of symbol if TAGS is loaded (like above)
;; * break long menus into multiple panes (like imenu?)
;; * notice node in "(dired)Virtual Dired" (quotes, parentheses, whitespace)
;; * notice "machine.dom blah blah blah dir/file" (how?)
;; * as w3 becomes standard, rewrite to rely more on its functions
;; * regexp options for ffap-string-at-point, like font-lock (MCOOK)
;; * v19: could replace `ffap-locate-file' with a quieter `locate-library'
;; * handle "$(VAR)" in Makefiles
;; * use the font-lock machinery

I said nothing about "C-x C-f", and ffap doesn't go through it
(AFAIK).

Again, I don't think ffap should do this.  If you want to use Windows
file names in Cygwin Emacs, then make Cygwin Emacs understand those file
names and not just in ffap.

| Again, I don't think ffap should do this.

Files under Cygwin Emacs are opened e.g. in $HOME
or //SHARE/ directories; those contain lines with windows style paths.

| Emacs understand those file names and not just in ffap.

I have no expertise on that area. I'm sure someone can continue to
generalize further.

Speaking from a user's perpective, it would be nice to have an improved
ffap in next release, as the common use is:

  * move point under file name
  * call ffap

   => it reads the file name, suitable for current environment (Cygwin).

This was seven years ago, and not surprisingly, the patch doesn't apply
any more.

But I think the approach here seemed good -- going back in the buffer
and check whether you find something that matches a file on the file
system (if I understood the patch correctly).

Is there still interest in making this work, or has everybody given up
on using ffap with file names with spaces?

I've respun the patch so that it now applies to Emacs 28, and the test
cases seem to kinda work?  The c: isn't included, but is that to be
expected?

I removed the Cygwin char translation stuff, because there was some
discussion about whether that was needed.

So what do people think?  Good or bad?  Does this work in any way
sensibly for people?

Thanks.

Is it?  I thought the intent was to include the full file name, which
means the drive letter should be included.  Otherwise the file will
not be found.

Since the heuristic only covers some use cases, I think we should have
it off by default, and we should document its potential pitfalls in
the doc string.  With those qualifications, I'm okay with adding this
optional feature.

I don't have a Windows system to test with...  it's possible that the
functions return the file name including the c: on a Windows machine?

OK, I've added some tests and pushed it to the trunk.

Someone said in another discussion that Cygwin already does accept
Windows-style file names.

I think that was a misunderstanding.  But Cygwin Emacs probably should
understand Windows-style file names to some extent (probably via
a file-name handler).

FWIW: As the submitter of the original bug report
(#6695), I'd say this shouldn't be marked "fixed"
if the drive letter part (e.g. c:/) isn't included
on MS Windows.

It sounds like it represents some progress, but
it sounds like it's not fixed yet.
