From a3a7279a4ab00be69519f98536ec75dc81217b50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Porter Date: Mon, 2 May 2022 16:56:49 -0700 Subject: Improve the behavior of concatenating parts of Eshell arguments Previously, concatenating a list to a string would first convert the list to a string. Now, the string is concatenated with the last element of the list. * lisp/eshell/esh-util.el (eshell-to-flat-string): Make obsolete. * lisp/eshell/esh-arg.el (eshell-concat, eshell-concat-1): New functions. (eshell-resolve-current-argument): Use 'eshell-concat'. * test/lisp/eshell/esh-var-tests.el (esh-var-test/interp-concat-cmd): Add check for concatenation of multiline output of subcommands. (esh-var-test/quoted-interp-concat-cmd): New test. * test/lisp/eshell/em-extpipe-tests.el (em-extpipe-test-13): Use 'eshell-concat'. * doc/misc/eshell.texi (Expansion): Document this behavior. * etc/NEWS: Announce the change (bug#55236). --- lisp/eshell/esh-util.el | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'lisp/eshell/esh-util.el') diff --git a/lisp/eshell/esh-util.el b/lisp/eshell/esh-util.el index 9960912bce8..b5a423f0237 100644 --- a/lisp/eshell/esh-util.el +++ b/lisp/eshell/esh-util.el @@ -293,6 +293,7 @@ Prepend remote identification of `default-directory', if any."
