Subject: Question on frame title
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2015 08:26:01 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fe5daa74-2ee7-4891-be6a-af57d2c60ac2@googlegroups.com> (raw)
I try to run shell-command to retrieve some information on the file and put it in the title frame. But I got some strange behavior:
(setq frame-title-format
(list (format "%s" (shell-command-to-string(concat "ls -1 " " %b ")))))
But it says ls: cannot access filename: No such file or directory on the title frame.
It seems the filename is correct, but not sure why cannot access it. Is it due to the white space returned from the %b?
Anyone has a example code to run a shell-command on %b in frame-title-format?
