Re: Bug: Org-babel can't capture the output of rg/ag/pt with org-babel on OS X [9.2.6 (9.2.6-4-ge30905-elpaplus @ /Users/maxflander/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20191014/)]

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

you probably already tried this to judge from your links but it's
worth poinitng out for mailing list readers that shell blocks use the
exit code.  a user who just wants to run a diff or grep for the stdio
results (stderr and stdout) has to stop that mechanism.

if you want both stdin and stout, you need to combine them.  note that
stderr is normally unbuffered, so the sequence might or might not be
preserved.  and if you want to stop babel from thinking it should do
something different with nonzero ec, you have to stop that.

all of this i think needs to be done in shell code inside the block.
