Hi,
I have been having issues with backquoting DOS (text mode) programs in
Cygwin 1.7. For example, for the following command:
echo `example-prog` aaa
I would expect output to be:
hello world aaa
However, the carriage return is being including in the output, resulting in:
aaalo world
This issue has been raised before in the mailing lists, with the
solution being to set the CYGWIN environment variable to include
"nobinmode". This option has been removed in 1.7. ...
It might be a good idea to remove the final CRLF for command line output
embedding even without the igncr option as this context is a somewhat
special case.
Removing the final LF (standard shell behavior) isn't binary-transparent
either - it's a convenience function.
