Subject: Re: Extra CR symbol from backticks on Cygwin 2.9.0

Hi Eric,

Thanks! This option is what I am looking for.
However I cannot agree with you on bash behavior in Cygwin. Section of
command substitution in bash documentation says:

https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Command-Substitution

"...with any trailing newlines deleted." That is why I expected that
bash should remove trailing newlines in command substitution results,
which are CRLF on Windows.
From my point of view, bash in Cygwin should follow the same rule on
Linux and Windows: remove trailing newlines in command substitution.
So remove trailing CRLF on Windows.


Best regards,
Nikolay Melekhin
