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。

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<

这修整了前端和末端的多个空间
whatever=${whatever%% *}
无论= ${无论# *}
我总是用sed来做
var=`hg st -R "$path" | sed -e 's/ *$//'`
如果有更优雅的解决方案，我希望有人能发布出来。
这是我见过的最简单的方法。它只使用Bash，只有几行，regexp很简单，它匹配所有形式的空白:
if [[ "$test" =~ ^[[:space:]]*([^[:space:]].*[^[:space:]])[[:space:]]*$ ]]
then
test=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
fi
下面是一个用于测试的示例脚本:
test=$(echo -e "\n \t Spaces and tabs and newlines be gone! \t \n ")
echo "Let's see if this works:"
echo
echo "----------"
echo -e "Testing:${test} :Tested" # Ugh!
echo "----------"
echo
echo "Ugh! Let's fix that..."
if [[ "$test" =~ ^[[:space:]]*([^[:space:]].*[^[:space:]])[[:space:]]*$ ]]
then
test=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
fi
echo
echo "----------"
echo -e "Testing:${test}:Tested" # "Testing:Spaces and tabs and newlines be gone!"
echo "----------"
echo
echo "Ah, much better."
要做到这一点，最简单和最便宜的方法是利用回声忽略空格。所以，就用
dest=$(echo $source)
例如:
> VAR=" Hello World "
> echo "x${VAR}x"
x Hello World x
> TRIMD=$(echo $VAR)
> echo "x${TRIMD}x"
xHello Worldx
注意，这也将多个空格合并为一个空格。
为了删除字符串开头和结尾的所有空格(包括行末字符):
echo $variable | xargs echo -n
这也将删除重复的空格:
echo " this string has a lot of spaces " | xargs echo -n
Produces: 'this string has a lot of spaces'
