With tramp, that assumption Interesting. In my own completion package (basically partial-completion-mode enhanced with substring matching) I don't think I rely on / at all, and use the standard file-name-parsing functions instead. Do you remember the reason why you chose to parse the filenames by hand ? [ I can't remember being bothered by those parsing functions, so it never occurred to me to parse filenames manually. ] Stefan
