Hello, I posted this on stackoverflow [1], and they suggested I post it here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've noticed in org-babel when using a bash session with multiline statements (e.g. a for loop), the output contains extra characters (specifically ">"s and the prompt. The output can also change throughout the session. An example is below. I found this link, which is probably related, but I'm not sure. I'm relatively new to emacs/org, so digging into the internals is a little beyond me at this point. Thanks! No session -> correct output #+BEGIN_SRC bash :results output for i in 1 2 3 do echo $i done #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : 1 : 2 : 3 Session -> Incorrect output #+BEGIN_SRC bash :session test_session :results output for i in 1 2 3 do echo $i done #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : : > > > 1 : 2 : 3 Running the same command in the same session, and the output changes #+BEGIN_SRC bash :session test_session :results output for i in 1 2 3 do echo $i done #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : : > > 1 : 2 : 3 New session, but loop is all one one line -> incorrect output #+BEGIN_SRC bash :session test_session2 :results output for i in 1 2 3; do echo $i; done #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : : 1 : 2 : 3 Thanks Steve [1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54909018/org-babel-bash-output-with-sessions
