| I created a perl script: | |
| #!/usr/bin/perl -w | |
| my $dir = `pwd`; | |
| chomp $dir; | |
| $dir =~ s/\/trunk$//; | |
| $dir = substr($dir, rindex($dir, "/") + 1); | |
| print "\033]0;$dir\007"; | |
| Then set the PROMPT_COMMAND variable in my ~/.bash_profile: | |
| export PROMPT_COMMAND="$HOME/scripts/dir.pl" | |
| Now whenever I change directories, the tab title is set in iterm. Also, if I am in a trunk directory | |
| (as is often the case) the terminal tab will be set to the name of the directory above it. |

Also works in regular Mac Terminal.
And yes, this means every time you run any command, perl will run. Is that bad? I think today's machines should be able to handle it. Although it'd be nice to find a way to do this sort of string manipulation in just bash. Not sure if that's possible anyway without invoking sed or something.
