a CR character is automatically printed at the end of shell script.
e.g.
$ echo "Hello, world."
Hello, world.
$ echo -r "Hello, world." # on LM 8.0
$ echo -r "Hello, world." # on LM 7.2 ( no problem! )
Hello, world.$
when i execute 'echo -r "Hello, world."' through slow connection, i can see
the string "Hello, wolrd." is printed exactly before the prompt of bash ($),
but the '$' erases it. in other words, 'echo -r -e "Hello, world.\r" on LM
7.2 will show the same result.
i have installed LM 8.0 with the free release from
<http://www.mandrake.com>, and the packages related to the problem are :
$ rpm -qa | grep ncurses
ncurses-5.1-8mdk
ncurses-devel-5.1-8mdk
ncurses-extraterms-5.1-8mdk
is there anyone who can help me ? thanks in advance.
