Can someone help me proofread my prompt? Small error I can't find.
I've setup custom prompts on linux boxes for years, but this is the first time I've run into a problem I can solve.
I've set the following as my prompt:
... can't post the string due to the 15 post rule. how helpful....
Everything looks fine initially.
1- It sets the username and host in back on green text.
2- It then changes to an off-white an prints the command number for the terminal.
3- Next, it prints the working directory.
4- Finally is prints a ">" character and a space. it looks like this (hostname/un edited & image enlarged slightly to make it easier to read.)
The problem occurs when I try to "up arrow" to reuse and/or edit a prior command. It prints the prior command fine, but if I arrow over to edit
the command sometimes the first character can not be deleted from displaying
I'd love to post 2 screen-shots I took to show the problem but.. 15 posts?
