Add this to your ~/.emacs:

M-x shell and escape sequences

[reader]

Setup:
  Gentoo linux  2.6.18
  GNU Emacs 22.0.92.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of 2006-12-21


Using M-x eshell `ls' behaves as ecpected and displays the colors.

Should I be able to run M-x shell (not eshell) then `ls' and not see
escape sequences?

It's a different `ls', the one built into Eshell (at least by default,
unless you changed some options).

Yes, but it's your setup: make sure `ls' is invoked with --colors=auto
option, not with --colors=always.

Alternatively, use ansi-colors.el.

On a related note, how do I get the clear command to work?  In eshell,
it shows escape sequences and does nothing; in shell, it just does nothing.

Thanks,

Hi all!


My question is different but I think it fits this thread nicely.
The trouble I've run into is that typing M-x shell results in
something like this:
....

-rw-r--r-- 1 woof users    733 Mar 31 23:37 ^[[0marticle-1.xsl^[[0m
-rw-r--r-- 1 woof users   2254 Apr  1 03:03 ^[[0marticle-2.html^[[0m
-rw-r--r-- 1 woof users   1897 Apr  1 03:02 ^[[0marticle-2.xsl^[[0m
-rw-r--r-- 1 woof users   1895 Apr  1 03:01 ^[[0marticle-2.xsl~^[[0m
....

I have not touched anything, that's how my emacs-22.0.95 executes the
command by default.

I've looked through nodes 41.3 - 41.8 of the info (Shell Mode) but
nothing seems to deal with the problem.
Do you think that display is normal or should I change anything?

I would be pleased to hear your comments.

The display is normal outside GNU Emacs – it is colouring file,  
directory, sym-link, and other special files' names. Turn that off in  
GNU Emacs (a file ~/.emacs_<your shell's name> could do this in that  
shell's syntax), or make ls to be aliased to a form that does emit  
these ANSI escape sequences.

I forgot to specify that my post was about the output of

'M-x shell' and 'ls -l'.

I think that was clear, though.

Or you can try to use ansi-color-for-comint-mode. I have these two lines
in my .emacs:

(autoload 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on "ansi-color" nil t)
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)

Thanks a lot, guys!

I put those two lines into my .emacs and the problem was solved.

You may want to use M-x ansi-term RET
(Mind the change in keybindings!)
