[GRASS5] [bug #2805] (grass) ^H^H^H emitted while working

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=2805
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regarding the ^H^H^H^H^H etc. mess most every command spews while
working, those of us who work in emacs' compile windows have to change
windows and page down each time to see what is happening with the real
results. OK, we could add a "1>&2 |col -b" after each command, but
that also would delay results.

Batch job users I'm sure have to put up with it, as do telnet or slow
line connection users.

Wish there was a global way to turn it off.

your lucky day.

I think the backspaces are probably from G_percent() updating:

Percent done
99%

etc.

Radim recently changed this in CVS to work a bit cleaner with the tcl GUI
windows.

set the GRASS_MESSAGE_FORMAT enviroment (not GRASS) variable to 'gui'
maybe with 'grep -v' for your case.

see this thread:

This has been fixed in the current CVS version and a nice progress bar added
to the bottom of all autogenerated tcltk dialogs -- thanks to Hamish.

Hamish.

Radim did that not me.

Hamish

Sorry Radim for the misdirected gratitude. The progress bars are nice.
