Subject: How to make ^M in a buffer go to the beginning of line?
Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2015 20:49:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bnalu8kh.fsf@mbork.pl> (raw)

Hi all,

so I have this buffer, which displays the output of a process.  This
output contains loads of ^M characters, since - when run from a terminal
- the process displays a one-line, real-time-updated progress
information (like "n/m processed").  I'd like to mimic this behavior
when calling it from Emacs (programmatically, not from M-x term or
anything like that).

TIA,

--
