Defining "\r" Behavior in SSH Window

Defining "\r" Behavior in SSH Window

[gamename]

Hi,

I have a C application that does "printf("<text>\r").  The result in a
shell window is to produce a newline.  But in an ssh window, a newline
is not created.  So, the output in a shell window looks like this:

yadda
yadda
yadda

while the ssh window's output looks like this:

yaddayaddayadda

Now can I make the ssh window behave the same way as the shell buffer?

Thanks,
-T

Fix your program. :)  Use:

printf("<text>\n");

I verified that it works over ssh (and in a local, normal, shell).

Not sure what this has to do with emacs, though...

Can't. :)  I would if I could. The app is outside my control.

If the app doesn't print lines without cartridge returns/new lines,
try running
app | tr '\015' '\012'

This should change CR to LF (tr uses octal to specify the characters).
