The Attempt at a Solution

I tried substituting u=e^{-x}, but i get \int \frac{sin u}{u}+\frac{cos u}{u^2} \,du, which is non-integrable function.

What is the derivative of $e^x\cos(e^{-x})$?

A second way is to try to transform the cos into a sin function. That leads to the hope that an integration by part will work by starting with

e^x cos (e^{-x}) = \frac{d e^x}{dx} \cos (e^{-x})

and sure enough that works.
