Cygwin Emacs, Windows Everything and ^M

Within a Cygwin Emacs, how is it possible to use Helm (and the fantastic es command-line tool from Everything) to locate files on Windows?

I've the thing running easily, except that there are ^M after every file name from the es output.

Adding

("es" undecided-dos . undecided-unix)

in process-coding-system-alist did not solve anything...

How can we fix this?

Solution

  • This is how to resolve the problem:

    ;; Strip `^M' characters.
(add-to-list 'process-coding-system-alist
             '("sh" . (undecided-dos . undecided-unix))) ; `es' process.
