Shell Programming and Scripting

hi

i remember sometime back working in unix, when u dont recall a complete file name..u hit ESC key couple of times and actual complete name of that file [for example ] which u looking for , gets visible

For this to be enabled , do we need to make any entry in .profile file.
In my current project, am unable to use this feature

Please advice how can I make use of this feature in my new unix environment

Regards,
Suresh

I hope this is the functionality based on the "SHELL" in which you are.

Try using "ksh" or "sh" and see , whether it's working for you.

i think ur looking for this :-

Code:

set -o vi

use this and i think ur autocompleting of file after hitting esc will be done

Code:

 
set -o vi

use ESC + \ for auto completion
use ESC and the vi commands for remaining actions
