How to show only first level subdir in bash autocomplete?
I have this bash completion file
#/etc/bash_completion.d/mycommand
_mycommand()
{
local cur
COMPREPLY=()
_init_completion || return
#Variable to hold the current word
cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"
#array variable COMPREPLY
dirs=('Rootdir/
Secondrootdir/
Rootdir/Subdir/
Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/
Secondrootdir/Thirdsubdir/
Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/Subsubdir/'
)
COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "$dirs" "$cur"))
}
#Assign the auto-completion function _mycommand for our command mycommand.
complete -F _mycommand mycommand
When I have multiple choice and press TAB twice, I see the following:
$ mycommand Secondrootdir/
Secondrootdir/
Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/
Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/Subsubdir/
Secondrootdir/Thirdsubdir/
But I only want to see the siblings of the currently entered Secondrootdir
like this:
$ mycommand Secondrootdir/ Anothersubdir/ Thirdsubdir/
cd team works well in business
$ cd Music/
kattymusic/ Playlists/ Relax/
But I can't figure out how the cd autocomplete works.
Can someone help me please?

Lots of thanx to post
Bash completion: copy the list of words as if they were paths - only offer up to the next slash
finally, the code looks like this:
#/etc/bash_completion.d/mycommand
_mycommand()
{
local cur i
_init_completion || return
compopt -o filenames
#Variable to hold the current word
cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"
dirs='Rootdir/Subdir/ Secondrootdir/Thirdsubdir/ Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/Subsubdir/'
# If we include root dirs we have to remove them
# e.g we have Secondrootdir/ Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/ Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/Subsubdir/'
# we need to skip the shorties path and remain only the longest one Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/Subsubdir/'
# dirs='Rootdir/
# Secondrootdir/
# Rootdir/Subdir/
# Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/
# Secondrootdir/Thirdsubdir/
# Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/Subsubdir/'
arr=($(compgen -W "$dirs" -- $cur))
for path in "${arr[@]}"
do
local trailing_trim
# Determine what to trim from the end
trailing_trim="${path#${cur%/*}/}/"
trailing_trim="${trailing_trim#*/}"
trailing_trim="${trailing_trim%/}"
# Don't add a space if there is more to complete
[[ "$trailing_trim" != "" ]] && compopt -o nospace
# Remove the slash if mark-directories is off
if ! _rl_enabled mark-directories
then
# If The current typed path doesnt have a slash in it yet check if
# it is the full first portion of a path and ignore everything after
# if it is. We don't have to do this once the typed path has a slash
# in it as the logic above will pick up on it
[[ "$cur" != */* && "$path" == ${cur}/* ]] && path="$cur/$trailing_trim"
trailing_trim="/$trailing_trim"
fi
COMPREPLY[i++]="${path%%${trailing_trim}}"
done
}
#Assign the auto-completion function _mycommand for our command mycommand.
complete -F _mycommand mycommand
