Re: [babel] Executing sh-code

Hi Eric,

FYI, I just re-did a git pull && make clean && make, before writing this post
(5 min ago). I also launched a new Emacs.

I am still puzzled by the order the commands are mixed with their output:

1. ls command
2. echo command
3. ls output
4. echo output

It's like if everything was sent at once, instead of waiting for the prompt to
appear.

Would I write see in Expect (I love it), I would write something like:

1. expect prompt
2. send ls command
3. expect result followed by prompt
4. send echo command
5. expect result followed by prompt

But, maybe, my observation has nothing to do with my problem...

I've put that in my .emacs file, as you can see (when asking for its value in
the shell buffer):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
comint-prompt-regexp's value is "^(.+)"
Local in buffer "ecm"; global value is "^"

Documentation:
Regexp to recognize prompts in the inferior process.
Defaults to "^", the null string at BOL.

This variable is only used if the variable
`comint-use-prompt-regexp' is non-nil.

Good choices:
  Canonical Lisp: "^[^> \n]*>+:? *" (Lucid, franz, kcl, T, cscheme, oaklisp)
  Lucid Common Lisp: "^\\(>\\|\\(->\\)+\\) *"
  franz: "^\\(->\\|<[0-9]*>:\\) *"
  kcl: "^>+ *"
  shell: "^[^#$%>\n]*[#$%>] *"
  T: "^>+ *"

This is a good thing to set in mode hooks.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Nope. Because I'm using your prompt, as you can see in the above shell
session.

N/A, if I understand you correctly, as I'm using your prompt within Emacs
shells:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
PS1="\w % "
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Good you talk of that. Of course, I was using color in my prompt (but not
anymore, see above), but I was coloring ls output as well...

Disabled yesterday...

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# alias ls="ls --color=yes --classify"  # `--color=auto' tells ls to use color
#                                       # iff output is a tty
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Though, even while I'm using your prompt definition, your prompt regexp
definition, bash as shell, and no color in the ls command, I still have the
same problem: "Emacs" hangs when C-c C-c on the `ls *.org' code block.

Not sure to understand what I can do to go further...

Best regards,
  Seb
