Hi,
I am trying to setup my .screenrc. I am able to display the $PWD on
the hardstatus line using:
PS1="\[\e]0;\w\a\]$PS1"
in my .bashrc, and
hardstatus string '%{= Ck}%H:%L>%{= dd} %h'
in my .screenrc. But for long directory names, I wanted to truncate
the first part of the directory string to "...". I was trying to use
the PROMPT_COMMAND in .bashrc to do the actual truncation and use that
variable (say, newPWD) instead of '\w' in the PS1 string above:
"\[\e]0;$newPWD\a\]$PS1"
Of course this doesn't work. Also, I couldn't quite understand the %L
or %> or %< string sequences for screen. So, is it possible?
Kindly CC me when replying, I am not subscribed to the list.
