Hi All,

Hi All,

Whenever I switch to the shell in Emacs and list files, I see junk
characters before the file names. I'm a bit of a Unix newbie and am
guessing that this has to do with colors that Emacs isn't interpreting
correctly.  

For instance: 


[Sat May  3 06:39pm] MadPenguin : ~/projects/wordguess
$ ls
^[[0m^[[01;34mCVS^[[0m  ^[[0mfileio.cpp^[[0m  ^[[0mfileio.h^[[0m  ^[[0mmakefile^[[0m  ^[[0m#test.cpp#^[[0m  ^[[0mtest.cpp^[[0m  ^[[0mwordguess.cpp^[[0m  ^[[0mwords.txt^[[0m
^[[m
[Sat May  3 06:39pm] MadPenguin : ~/projects/wordguess
$ 

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get rid of the junk
characters? 

Thanks, 

-- Craig

Yes, I think so.

Try adding

(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)

to your .emacs file.
