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。
当前回答
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<
其他回答
这里有一个trim()函数，用于修整和规范化空白
#!/bin/bash
function trim {
echo $*
}
echo "'$(trim " one two three ")'"
# 'one two three'
还有一种使用正则表达式的变体。
#!/bin/bash
function trim {
local trimmed="$@"
if [[ "$trimmed" =~ " *([^ ].*[^ ]) *" ]]
then
trimmed=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
fi
echo "$trimmed"
}
echo "'$(trim " one two three ")'"
# 'one two three'
var=' a b c '
trimmed=$(echo $var)
使用AWK:
echo $var | awk '{gsub(/^ +| +$/,"")}1'
Use:
trim() {
local orig="$1"
local trmd=""
while true;
do
trmd="${orig#[[:space:]]}"
trmd="${trmd%[[:space:]]}"
test "$trmd" = "$orig" && break
orig="$trmd"
done
printf -- '%s\n' "$trmd"
}
它适用于各种空格，包括换行符， 不需要修改shop。 它保留内部空白，包括换行符。
单元测试(用于手动检查):
#!/bin/bash
. trim.sh
enum() {
echo " a b c"
echo "a b c "
echo " a b c "
echo " a b c "
echo " a b c "
echo " a b c "
echo " a b c "
echo " a b c "
echo " a b c "
echo " a b c "
echo " a b c "
echo " a N b c "
echo "N a N b c "
echo " Na b c "
echo " a b c N "
echo " a b c N"
}
xcheck() {
local testln result
while IFS='' read testln;
do
testln=$(tr N '\n' <<<"$testln")
echo ": ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :" >&2
result="$(trim "$testln")"
echo "testln='$testln'" >&2
echo "result='$result'" >&2
done
}
enum | xcheck
赋值函数忽略前导和后面的空格，因此可以用于修剪:
$ var=`echo ' hello'`; echo $var
hello
