I have a directory which contains multiple Tools (one folder per tool). Each of these tool directories, contains multiple folders (1 folder per version).



tool1
-- ver1
-- ver2

tool2
--ver1
--ver2


And I have a tool, that use this cache dir. I want to autocomplete the possible tools/versions in this manner:




./my_bin TOOL:VERSION




I use this complete function:



for dir in $cache_dir/*; do
if [[ -d $dir ]]; then
tool=$(basename "$dir")
for version in $dir/*; do
if [[ -d $version ]]; then
ver=$(basename "$version")

array+="$tool:$ver " <<-------------

fi
done
fi
done

COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "$(echo "$array[*]")" -- "$COMP_WORDS[-1]"))


this command let me to autocomplete by showing all the Tool:Version couples, in the cache dir.



My question is, how can I show only the available Tools first, add the ':' separator automatically, and then show the available versions for this tool ?



It's very important for me to respect the Tool:Version format in the command argument.
