emacs shell

emacs shell

[Pedro Sa da Costa]

in emacs shell i do an ls, and what i got is:

ls
^[[a.java ^[[b.java ^[[c.java ^[[d.java ^[[e.java ^[[f.java

and what i want is something similar to a bash ls. Ie, well formated:

a.java    b.java
c.java    d.java
e.java    f.java

How can i do this?

Thanks,
Pedro

It's a colour issue.  The '^[['s are control characters.

Try:

  $ ls --color=none

and add something like this to your ~/.bashrc to avoid color
information being applied in your emacs shells:

# ls behaviour
[ "$EMACS" == "t" ] && alias ls="ls --color=none"
