[Vim-latex-devel] Some issues with completion

[Dan P. <da...@lc...>]

Hi there,

\ref and \cite completion did not work for me out of the box with the
2005.11.19 release and vim 6.3.86 on a debian testing linux machine.
The issue is with grep: curly brackets were not being correctly
escaped.  This is with the line

set grepprg=3D/bin/grep\ -nH\ $*

in $VIM/ftplugin/tex.vim.  It might be my version of grep...I'm not
sure.  In any case, two changes to
$VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/latex-suite/texview.vim got things working for
me.  In both cases, I added double-quotes to expressions to fix the
issue.  First, I changed line 543 to

call Tex_Grepadd('"@.*{'.a:prefix.'"', "%")

Second, on line 625:

call Tex_Grepadd('"\label{'.a:prefix.'"', "%")

I wanted to express my appreciation for the work you guys put into
latex-suite.  It is immensely convenient.  Hopefully the info above
will be useful to you.

cheers,

Dan

Hi Dan,

Thanks for pointing this out... I am afraid that adding doublequotes
isn't a very portable solution. There are multiple ways in which the
grep command finally gets to the underlying operating system. One of
the most common way is:

bash -c "grep -nH pattern filelist"

In this invokation, having double quotes in the pattern would
definitely screw things up. What would be better is escaping the
characters which grep treats specially. Is this whats happening in
your case? It will help if you can supply an example of when things go
wrong for you.. Also, I am curious about your OS and your 'shell'
setting.

Thanks,
Srinath

Srinath,

I'm surprised my little kludge worked at all, to be honest.  I
initially just added a

let retVal =3D escape(retVal, "{")

to Tex_EscapeForGrep.  I thought I'd gotten things all worked out
because it fixed the issue with label-searching, but bibtex was still
a problem.  Actually, this escape actually messes things up when used
in concert with the double-quotes.

My shell is tcsh.  If I switch to bash in my .vimrc (or any time
before loading the latex-suite stuff) the original code works fine.
Interestingly, so does my double-quoted version.

My OS is simply GNU/Debian Linux using the testing (etch) distribution.
I originally was working with the packaged .deb (based on a late 2004
release) of latex-suite, but ran into the same difficulty and decided
to upgrade to the newest snapshot before tinkering.

tcsh version:
tcsh 6.14.00 (Astron) 2005-03-25 (i486-intel-linux) options
wide,nls,bye,al,ng,rh,nd,color,filec

bash version:
GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

grep version:
grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1

The short summary is, use tcsh and you should be able to reproduce
this issue.  Yet another reason for me to finally switch to bash.

cheers,
Dan
