Hi,
At the moment I am working on a patch to fix two (related) bugs. One
bug is that tab completion does not escape spaces, the other is that
it does not take quotes into consideration.
What I did is rewriting grub_split_cmdline. There are some helper
functions which make handling the command line very flexible. The
patch is almost ready and I'll explain it a bit when I send it in.
This patch will affect how the scripting support can be implemented.
The parsing can be done using the helper functions I wrote so code can
be efficiently shared.
Serbinenko, are you still working on scripting support? After sending
in my patch I will explain what the best way is to use this command
line handling for scripting support. I hope we can talk about this so
we can add scripting support real soon.
The main reason why I send in this email is to prevent anyone from
doing redundant work, so just ignore those two bugs while I am working
on it. And please do not work on the command line and tab completion
code, it will be changed a lot...
Thanks,
Marco
