hippie-expand show possible expansions for files

[Fabian Braennstroem]

Hi,

does anyone know, if there is a chance to show all possible expansions
for file names and directories when using hippie-expand? Something like
'comint-dynamic-complete' does!? Would be nice...

I was not clear enough, I can you hippie-expand too, but I don't get a
buffer jumping up with all possible expansion. I think it would be a
realy nice feature!?

Hi,
I didn't know these completion features, I find them very handy.
Do you know if there is a way to manage file name completion even if a directory contains a whitespace.
I work under Windows and neither hippie-expand nor comint-dynamic-complete could expand anything after c:\program Files
Thank you

Hi,
i have tried it right now on windows with vmware:
you have to write c:\\Program files\\ instead of c:\Program files
to have the completion.

I am not working under Losedows and I am not writing a path with ``\ 
´´ (except I want to "escape" SPC or such in the path name) – and the  
latter makes an important difference! When you start with ``c:/program 
´´ comint-dynamic-complete will work and probably expand to ``C:/ 
Program\ Files/´´ ...

The reason is that backslash is used as a metacharacter that cannot  
stand for itself but gives other characters a particular meaning. So,  
when you write ``\p´´ it's not a sequence of ``\´´ and ``p´´ but a  
``backslashed p´´, some new entity.

Yes, it seem to work also like that i can complete c:/Program files/
but after that to complete i have to write c:/Program files/\and then
like that i can complete with a buffer that show all.
So comint-dynamic-complete is much more fun with /home/user... :)

It has nothing to do with the windows problem, I am on Linux too :-),
but I just found a different idea to combine the mentioned
'hippie-expand' and 'comint...' (sorry Thierry, I still did not get your
setup). I use these lines,which I found in the net, to complete the words
using the 'tab' key:

(defun indent-or-expand (arg)
  "Either indent according to mode, or expand the word preceding
point."
  (interactive "*P")
  (if (and
       (or (bobp) (= ?w (char-syntax (char-before))))
       (or (eobp) (not (= ?w (char-syntax (char-after))))))
;      (dabbrev-expand arg)
      (hippie-expand arg)
    (indent-according-to-mode)))

(defun my-tab-fix ()
  (local-set-key [tab] 'indent-or-expand))
 
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook          'my-tab-fix)

The completion just works, if the cursor is behind the word. Now, a good
combination  would be to insert a second if-statement, which looks, if
the word to complete starts with "/" or "../"; then use
'comint...' otherwise use 'hippie...'. My problem now is to check for
the starting "/" or "../". Does anyone have an idea, how to do it?
