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
Read已经修整了空白,所以在bash中你可以这样做:
$ read foo <<< " foo bar two spaces follow "
$ echo ".$foo."
.foo bar two spaces follow.
POSIX兼容的版本稍长一些
$ read foo << END
foo bar two spaces follow
END
$ echo ".$foo."
.foo bar two spaces follow.
我发现我需要从混乱的sdiff输出中添加一些代码来清理它:
sdiff -s column1.txt column2.txt | grep -F '<' | cut -f1 -d"<" > c12diff.txt
sed -n 1'p' c12diff.txt | sed 's/ *$//g' | tr -d '\n' | tr -d '\t'
这将删除尾随空格和其他不可见字符。
我将简单地使用sed:
function trim
{
echo "$1" | sed -n '1h;1!H;${;g;s/^[ \t]*//g;s/[ \t]*$//g;p;}'
}
a)单行字符串使用示例
string=' wordA wordB wordC wordD '
trimmed=$( trim "$string" )
echo "GIVEN STRING: |$string|"
echo "TRIMMED STRING: |$trimmed|"
输出:
GIVEN STRING: | wordA wordB wordC wordD |
TRIMMED STRING: |wordA wordB wordC wordD|
b)多行字符串使用示例
string=' wordA
>wordB<
wordC '
trimmed=$( trim "$string" )
echo -e "GIVEN STRING: |$string|\n"
echo "TRIMMED STRING: |$trimmed|"
输出:
GIVEN STRING: | wordAA
>wordB<
wordC |
TRIMMED STRING: |wordAA
>wordB<
wordC|
c)最后说明: 如果你不喜欢使用函数,对于单行字符串,你可以简单地使用“更容易记住”的命令,比如:
echo "$string" | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed -e 's/[ \t]*$//'
例子:
echo " wordA wordB wordC " | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed -e 's/[ \t]*$//'
输出:
wordA wordB wordC
在多行字符串上使用上述方法也可以,但请注意,它也会切断任何尾随/前导内部多行空间,就像GuruM在评论中注意到的那样
string=' wordAA
>four spaces before<
>one space before< '
echo "$string" | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed -e 's/[ \t]*$//'
输出:
wordAA
>four spaces before<
>one space before<
所以如果你介意保留这些空格,请使用我回答开头的函数!
d)解释sed语法“find and replace”在函数trim中使用的多行字符串:
sed -n '
# If the first line, copy the pattern to the hold buffer
1h
# If not the first line, then append the pattern to the hold buffer
1!H
# If the last line then ...
$ {
# Copy from the hold to the pattern buffer
g
# Do the search and replace
s/^[ \t]*//g
s/[ \t]*$//g
# print
p
}'
让我们定义一个包含开头、结尾和中间空格的变量:
FOO=' test test test '
echo -e "FOO='${FOO}'"
# > FOO=' test test test '
echo -e "length(FOO)==${#FOO}"
# > length(FOO)==16
如何删除tr中的所有空格(由[:space:]表示):
FOO=' test test test '
FOO_NO_WHITESPACE="$(echo -e "${FOO}" | tr -d '[:space:]')"
echo -e "FOO_NO_WHITESPACE='${FOO_NO_WHITESPACE}'"
# > FOO_NO_WHITESPACE='testtesttest'
echo -e "length(FOO_NO_WHITESPACE)==${#FOO_NO_WHITESPACE}"
# > length(FOO_NO_WHITESPACE)==12
如何仅删除前导空格:
FOO=' test test test '
FOO_NO_LEAD_SPACE="$(echo -e "${FOO}" | sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//')"
echo -e "FOO_NO_LEAD_SPACE='${FOO_NO_LEAD_SPACE}'"
# > FOO_NO_LEAD_SPACE='test test test '
echo -e "length(FOO_NO_LEAD_SPACE)==${#FOO_NO_LEAD_SPACE}"
# > length(FOO_NO_LEAD_SPACE)==15
如何删除尾随空格:
FOO=' test test test '
FOO_NO_TRAIL_SPACE="$(echo -e "${FOO}" | sed -e 's/[[:space:]]*$//')"
echo -e "FOO_NO_TRAIL_SPACE='${FOO_NO_TRAIL_SPACE}'"
# > FOO_NO_TRAIL_SPACE=' test test test'
echo -e "length(FOO_NO_TRAIL_SPACE)==${#FOO_NO_TRAIL_SPACE}"
# > length(FOO_NO_TRAIL_SPACE)==15
如何删除前导和尾随空格-链种子:
FOO=' test test test '
FOO_NO_EXTERNAL_SPACE="$(echo -e "${FOO}" | sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//' -e 's/[[:space:]]*$//')"
echo -e "FOO_NO_EXTERNAL_SPACE='${FOO_NO_EXTERNAL_SPACE}'"
# > FOO_NO_EXTERNAL_SPACE='test test test'
echo -e "length(FOO_NO_EXTERNAL_SPACE)==${#FOO_NO_EXTERNAL_SPACE}"
# > length(FOO_NO_EXTERNAL_SPACE)==14
或者,如果你的bash支持它,你可以替换echo -e "${FOO}" | sed…有了sed…<<<${FOO},像这样(用于尾随空格):
FOO_NO_TRAIL_SPACE="$(sed -e 's/[[:space:]]*$//' <<<${FOO})"
Trim()删除空白(以及制表符、不可打印字符;为了简单起见,我正在考虑使用空格)。我的解决方案是:
var="$(hg st -R "$path")" # I often like to enclose shell output in double quotes
var="$(echo "${var}" | sed "s/\(^ *\| *\$\)//g")" # This is my suggestion
if [ -n "$var" ]; then
echo "[${var}]"
fi
sed命令只修剪开头和结尾的空白,但它也可以被输送到第一个命令,导致:
var="$(hg st -R "$path" | sed "s/\(^ *\| *\$\)//g")"
if [ -n "$var" ]; then
echo "[${var}]"
fi
