Hi, (originally posted to emacs.stackexchange[1] with no answers, )
I am running a short bash command from an org mode code block, using the program `fold` to wrap it at 60 characters. If I run the code without a session argument, the results display as expected. However, when I set the session argument (which I have to do in the context of the long literate analysis I'm doing), some of the output characters don't appear. Steps to reproduce: emacs -Q Open the following file and execute each code block in turn: +------------------------ #+BEGIN_SRC elisp setup (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((shell . t))) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: #+BEGIN_SRC bash no session :results replace verbatim echo 'CCCC8,,CEFGDF,,,CC,CF:,,C8CFGFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGCFGGGG@GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG+FF:B3CDFGGGFGGCFDGGGFCF:,FF9>FEC,F<FEG*?FFFFFGGG*CFEEECGGGGC+>FDGGDGFDFFEEFGEGC5>5?C*CGGF+3:*<7*2>+*<9CGCD::C=*@DCFCFFGG<C9<)7*9.5<@BA*7' | fold -w 60 #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : CCCC8,,CEFGDF,,,CC,CF:,,C8CFGFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG : GGGGGGCFGGGG@GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG+FF:B3CDFGGGFGGCFD : GGGFCF:,FF9>FEC,F<FEG*?FFFFFGGG*CFEEECGGGGC+>FDGGDGFDFFEEFGE : GC5>5?C*CGGF+3:*<7*2>+*<9CGCD::C=*@DCFCFFGG<C9<)7*9.5<@BA*7 #+BEGIN_SRC bash session :results replace verbatim :session my-session echo 'CCCC8,,CEFGDF,,,CC,CF:,,C8CFGFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGCFGGGG@GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG+FF:B3CDFGGGFGGCFDGGGFCF:,FF9>FEC,F<FEG*?FFFFFGGG*CFEEECGGGGC+>FDGGDGFDFFEEFGEGC5>5?C*CGGF+3:*<7*2>+*<9CGCD::C=*@DCFCFFGG<C9<)7*9.5<@BA*7' | fold -w 60 #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : CCCC8,,CEFGDF,,,CC,CF:,,C8CFGFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG : GGGGGGCFGGGG@GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG+FF:B3CDFGGGFGGCFD : FEC,F<FEG*?FFFFFGGG*CFEEECGGGGC+>FDGGDGFDFFEEFGE : 5?C*CGGF+3:*<7*2>+*<9CGCD::C=*@DCFCFFGG<C9<)7*9.5<@BA*7 +------------------------ Notice the difference between the two bash results blocks. In the first, the input string is folded at column 60, without any other changes. In the second, a string of characters has been deleted: - `GGGFCF:,FF9>` from the beginning of the third line - `GC5>` from the beginning of the fourth line The fact that the deleted strings both start at the beginning of a line and end with a `>` suggests that the session thinks they should be redirected somehow, and in the process is dropping them completely. However, when I look at the session buffer, the output appears as expected, with no missing characters. How do I force the babel session to leave the output alone, and print it verbatim into the org file? Thanks!
