[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#9960) Server does not interpret ~

["Benedict Adamson" <badamson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://rt.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=9960 >

The server uses readline, which can handily complete file names. 
However, readline understands ~ in as an abbreviation for your home 
directory, but the server itself (apparently) does not.

For example, if I (user benedict, with home directory /home/benedict) 
have a file of settings /home/benedict/civ/comp, I can type the server 
command 'read /home/benedict/civ/c<TAB>' and readline will complete the 
file name. readline will also complete 'read ~/civ/c<TAB>' as 'read 
~/civ/comp'. However, the server will then respond with the error 
message "Cannot read command line scriptfile '~/civ/comp'"
