我有一个shell脚本与这段代码:
var=`hg st -R "$path"`
if [ -n "$var" ]; then
echo $var
fi
但是条件代码总是执行，因为hg st总是打印至少一个换行符。
是否有一个简单的方法从$var中剥离空白(如PHP中的trim())?
or
有没有处理这个问题的标准方法?
我可以使用sed或AWK，但我认为有一个更优雅的解决方案来解决这个问题。

这就是我所做的，结果完美而简单:
the_string=" test"
the_string=`echo $the_string`
echo "$the_string"
输出:
test
其他回答
Python有一个函数strip()，它的工作原理与PHP的trim()相同，因此我们可以使用一点内联Python来创建一个易于理解的实用程序:
alias trim='python -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write(sys.stdin.read().strip())"'
这将删除开头和结尾的空白(包括换行符)。
$ x=`echo -e "\n\t \n" | trim`
$ if [ -z "$x" ]; then echo hi; fi
hi
答案有很多，但我仍然认为我刚刚写的剧本值得一提，因为:
it was successfully tested in the shells bash/dash/busybox shell it is extremely small it doesn't depend on external commands and doesn't need to fork (->fast and low resource usage) it works as expected: it strips all spaces and tabs from beginning and end, but not more important: it doesn't remove anything from the middle of the string (many other answers do), even newlines will remain special: the "$*" joins multiple arguments using one space. if you want to trim & output only the first argument, use "$1" instead if doesn't have any problems with matching file name patterns etc
脚本:
trim() {
local s2 s="$*"
until s2="${s#[[:space:]]}"; [ "$s2" = "$s" ]; do s="$s2"; done
until s2="${s%[[:space:]]}"; [ "$s2" = "$s" ]; do s="$s2"; done
echo "$s"
}
用法:
mystring=" here is
something "
mystring=$(trim "$mystring")
echo ">$mystring<"
输出:
>here is
something<
#!/bin/bash
function trim
{
typeset trimVar
eval trimVar="\${$1}"
read trimVar << EOTtrim
$trimVar
EOTtrim
eval $1=\$trimVar
}
# Note that the parameter to the function is the NAME of the variable to trim,
# not the variable contents. However, the contents are trimmed.
# Example of use:
while read aLine
do
trim aline
echo "[${aline}]"
done < info.txt
# File info.txt contents:
# ------------------------------
# ok hello there $
# another line here $
#and yet another $
# only at the front$
#$
# Output:
#[ok hello there]
#[another line here]
#[and yet another]
#[only at the front]
#[]
var=" a b "
echo "$(set -f; echo $var)"
>a b
我见过脚本只是使用变量赋值来完成工作:
$ xyz=`echo -e 'foo \n bar'`
$ echo $xyz
foo bar
空格会自动合并和修剪。必须小心shell元字符(潜在的注入风险)。
我还建议在shell条件句中使用双引号变量替换:
if [ -n "$var" ]; then
因为变量中的-o或其他内容可能会修改测试参数。
