[h-e-w] M-x shell and file name completion

[Lars Björnfot]

Hi,

 

I'm using cygwin bash as the internal shell in NT emacs.

 

For file names that contains spaces, completion succeeds only once. I.e.

M-x shell

bash$  ls /c/Doc

    -- press TAB

 

bash$  ls /c/Documents and Settings/

    -- completion works once,

    -- press TAB again gives error message "No completion of Settings/"

 

For find-file completion works!

 

When using the bash shell standalone (e.g. in rxvt) it works, \ are inserted before spaces.'

 

Is there any way to force emacs/comint/bash etc to insert \ before space on completion?

Any other solution?

 

Regards,

Lars
