So this is what you are talking about:
(defun org-babel-sh-strip-weird-long-prompt (string)
"Remove prompt cruft from a string of shell output."
(while (string-match "^% +[\r\n$]+ *" string)
(setq string (substring string (match-end 0))))
string)
Bearing in mind that my pattern-matching experience is mainly from Perl,
I don't get the regex above. Isn't it just going to match a prompt
starting with a '%' followed by a bunch of spaces, carriage returns /
newlines, and more spaces? That may be both weird and potentially long,
but isn't it quite a specific subset of weird, long prompts?
Cheers,
Loris
