[ros-users] rosbash: roscd magic for cleaner title/prompt

[Carlos Jaramillo]

Ivan and I added the following and seems to work fine now:

###########################################
# To enter ROSCD_MODE, type in roscd name_of_package
# To exit ROSCD_MODE, type in roscd
# If ROSCD_MODE is set, replaces the default bash prompt and tab title
# with [name_of_package].

export PS1_BAK=$PS1

PROMPT_COMMAND='
if [ "$ROSCD_MODE" ]; then
  basedir="${PWD#${PWD%%${ROSCD_MODE}*}}"
  if [ -z $basedir ]; then
      unset ROSCD_MODE
      export PS1=$PS1_BAK
        else
      export PS1="\[\e]0;[ ${ROSCD_MODE} ]\a\]\[\e[31;1m\][$basedir]:\$
\[\e[0m\]"
  fi
       else
  export PS1=$PS1_BAK
fi'

function roscd {
    local rosvals

    if [ -z $1 ]; then
      cd ${ROS_ROOT}
      unset ROSCD_MODE
      return 0
    fi

    _ros_decode_path $1 forceeval
    if [ $? != 0 ]; then
      echo "roscd: No such package '$1'"
      return 1
    elif [ -z $rosvals ]; then
      cd ${ROS_ROOT}
      return 0
    else
      cd ${rosvals[1]}${rosvals[2]}${rosvals[3]}
      export ROSCD_MODE=${rosvals[0]}
      return 0
    fi
}
#################################3

The fixes happened on
      basedir="${PWD#${PWD%%${ROSCD_MODE}*}}"
to keep track of subdirectory names where they are the same, such as in
rviz/src/rviz

And in the PROMPT_COMMAND part...

The above code should work fine now. Let us know if you still find problems.

Regards,

Carlos
