[Groovy] Class FileNameCompleter
- org.apache.groovy.groovysh.completion.FileNameCompleter
class FileNameCompleter extends FileNameCompleter
A file name completer takes the buffer and issues a list of potential completions.
This completer tries to behave as similar as possible to bash's file name completion (using GNU readline) with the following exceptions:- Candidates that are directories will end with "File.separator"
- Wildcard regular expressions are not evaluated or replaced
- The "~" character can be used to represent the user's home directory. It cannot fully complete to other users' homes in all operating systems, since java does not provide any way of determining that easily, but it will attempt a simplistic approach.
- Since:
