I see. I put files wi_cli.sh, fifo and opts, with obvious meanings, in '$HOME/.wmii/wi_cli/'. > I'd suggest some slight changes, though: *** Here is a patch (diff file) > The following will do what you want: *** Here is a full script I'm sorry but I'm a little bit confused here (recall that I'm somewhat a beginner in this area). It seems to me that some of the changes in your patch are included in your script but not all of them. For example the 'update' function in the script doesn't use its 'cmpl' argument. Thus I'm not sure about which version of your script I have to a apply the patch to. Probably I did something wrong but all the variants I have tried to build by mixing all of this, contain erroneous code. Either they produce odd messages in the terminal when I run 'sh wi_cli.sh', or typing options which are not declared in $opts doesn't work properly: after typing for example 'vim -e ' in the input line, no list of files is displayed after the last ' ' as I would expect.
