Slime has this function for expanding filenames in the slime repl:
(defun slime-maybe-complete-as-filename ()
"If point is at a string starting with \", complete it as filename.
Return nil if point is not at filename."
(if (save-excursion (re-search-backward "\"[^ \t\n]+\\=" (max
(point-min)
(-
(point) 1000)) t))
(let ((comint-completion-addsuffix '("/" . "\"")))
(comint-replace-by-expanded-filename)
t)
nil))
This doesn't work. I always get a error from
comint-replace-by-expanded-filename which says "last thing matched was
not a buffer". I don't really understand what that means, but this
means filename completion doesn't work.
Looking at comint-replace-by-expanded-filename, I see a call to
replace-match, but that doesn't need a buffer does it? It just needs
some match to so it knows what to replace.
