If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.;;; Commentary:;; Shell directory tracking by watching the prompt.;;;; This is yet another attempt at a directory-tracking package for;; Emacs shell-mode. However, this package makes one strong assumption:;; that you can customize your shell's prompt to contain the;; current working directory. Most shells do support this, including;; almost every type of Bourne and C shell on Unix, the native shells on;; Windows95 (COMMAND.COM) and Windows NT (CMD.EXE), and most 3rd party;; Windows shells. If you cannot do this, or do not wish to, this package;; will be useless to you.;;;; Installation:;;;; 1) Set your shell's prompt to contain the current working directory.;; You may need to consult your shell's documentation to find out how to;; do this.;;;; Note that directory tracking is done by matching regular expressions,;; therefore it is *VERY IMPORTANT* for your prompt to be easily;; distinguishable from other output. If your prompt regexp is too general,;; you will see error messages from the dirtrack filter as it attempts to cd;; to non-existent directories.;;;; 2) Set the variable `dirtrack-list' to an appropriate value. This;; should be a list of two elements: the first is a regular expression;; which matches your prompt up to and including the pathname part.;; The second is a number which tells which regular expression group to;; match to extract only the pathname. If you use a multi-line prompt,;; add 't' as a third element. Note that some of the functions in;; 'comint.el' assume a single-line prompt (eg, comint-bol).;;;; Determining this information may take some experimentation. Using;; `dirtrack-debug-mode' may help; it causes the directory-tracking;; filter to log messages to the buffer `dirtrack-debug-buffer'.;;;; 3) Activate `dirtrack-mode'. You may wish to turn ordinary shell;; tracking off by calling `shell-dirtrack-mode'.;;;; Examples:;;;; 1) On Windows NT, my prompt is set to emacs$S$P$G.;; 'dirtrack-list' is set to (list "^emacs \\([a-zA-Z]:.*\\)>" 1);;;; 2) On Solaris running bash, my prompt is set like this:;; PS1="\w\012emacs@\h(\!) [\t]% ";; 'dirtrack-list' is set to (list "^\\([/~].*\\)\nemacs@[^%]+% *" 1 t);;;; I'd appreciate other examples from people who use this package.;;;; Here's one from Stephen Eglen:;;;; Running under tcsh:;; (setq-default dirtrack-list '("^%E \\([^ ]+\\)" 1));;;; It might be worth mentioning in your file that emacs sources start up;; files of the form: ~/.emacs_<SHELL> where <SHELL> is the name of the;; shell. So for example, I have the following in ~/.emacs_tcsh:;;;; set prompt = "%%E %~ %h% ";;;; This produces a prompt of the form:;; %E /var/spool 10%;;;; This saves me from having to use the %E prefix in other non-emacs;; shells.;;;; A final note:;;;; I run LOTS of shell buffers through Emacs, sometimes as different users;; (eg, when logged in as myself, I'll run a root shell in the same Emacs).;; If you do this, and the shell prompt contains a ~, Emacs will interpret;; this relative to the user which owns the Emacs process, not the user;; who owns the shell buffer. This may cause dirtrack to behave strangely;; (typically it reports that it is unable to cd to a directory;; with a ~ in it).;;;; The same behavior can occur if you use dirtrack with remote filesystems;; (using telnet, rlogin, etc) as Emacs will be checking the local;; filesystem, not the remote one. This problem is not specific to dirtrack,;; but also affects file completion, etc.;;; Code:(eval-when-compile (require 'comint) (require 'shell));;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Customization Variables;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;(defgroup dirtrack nil "Directory tracking by watching the prompt." :prefix "dirtrack-" :group 'shell)(defcustom dirtrack-list (list "^emacs \\([a-zA-Z]:.*\\)>" 1) "List for directory tracking.First item is a regexp that describes where to find the path in a prompt.Second is a number, the regexp group to match.
