How to? Examples for the new tab completion feature

[nickles]

Are there any examples for working tab completion scripts?

When I get some free time, I hope to add tab completion for printer names to PrinterStuff. Not sure when I'm going to have that time, though.

Here's a not very interesting example. If the command is TYPE, this will only the names of TXT and BTM files.
Load it with "tabcomplete /L typecomplete.btm"

::TYPECOMPLETE.BTM
if %1 NE TYPE quit 1

unset /q TABCOMPLETIONRESULT

do f in /p dir /ne /b /a:-d %2*.txt;%2*.btm
   iff defined tabcompletionresult then
     set TABCOMPLETIONRESULT=%tabcompletionresult %@quote[%f]
   else
     set TABCOMPLETIONRESULT=%@quote[%f]
   endiff
enddo
quit 0

@vefatica: Thanks for this first one!

With minimal changes, this can be used to avoid the $"%(&)%&("#$) "javac file.class" wrong command I usually mistakenly make. Thanks!
