grep -v "^[[:space:]]*$"

The -v makes it print lines that do not completely match

===Each part explained===
^             match start of line
[[:space:]]   match whitespace- spaces, tabs, carriage returns, etc.
*             previous match (whitespace) may exist from 0 to infinite times
$             match end of line

〇运行代码

$ echo "
> hello
>       
> ok" |
> grep -v "^[[:space:]]*$"
hello
ok

要了解更多关于这是如何/为什么工作的，我建议阅读正则表达式。http://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html

保持简单。

grep . filename.txt

awk 'NF' file-with-blank-lines > file-with-no-blank-lines

如果在一行中有多个空行序列，并且每个序列只希望有一个空行，请尝试

grep -v "unwantedThing" foo.txt | cat -s

Cat -s抑制重复的空输出行。

你的输出会从

match1



match2

to

match1

match2

原始输出中的三个空行将被压缩或“压缩”为一个空行。

此代码删除空行和以“#”开头的行

 grep -v "^#" file.txt | grep -v ^[[:space:]]*$

Use:

grep pattern filename.txt | uniq
