Subject: Emacs can't capture fzf output in Windows 10
Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2020 12:25:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_7CE77BEB2C9CCC5972C0EFA6577447FCB908@qq.com> (raw)

Dear all,


I'm trying to use fzf (junegunn/fzf) in windows, however it seems emacs can't capture the output of fzf.


Example:&nbsp; fzf with -filter will be in filter mode and do not start interactive finder. 

- In shell (cmd): "fzf.exe --filter=tmp" will not exit
- In shell (cmd): "fzf.exe --filter=tmp &gt; aa.txt"&nbsp; will not exit

- (call-process "cmd.exe" nil t nil "/C" "start" "fzf" "--filter=tmp") will give a flash window (with list of findings) and print 0 in emacs.

- (shell-command "fzf --filter=tmp") will lead to a message (Shell command failed with code 1 and no output)
- (shell-command-to-string "fzf --filter=tmp") give a empty string


However if I run "fzf --filter=tmp" in the CMD box it will provide a list of finding, and "fzf --filter=tmp &gt; aa.txt" will print the findings to file aa.txt.


It can't run fzf in interactive mode as I understand there is no true term for emacs in windows but why it can't be run in filter mode?





It is not put in the bugs report as I don't understand the mechanism whether it is a bug.



- Windows 10
- Emacs 28 (I think is not only for 28)
