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= ${无论# *}
这将删除字符串中的所有空格，
VAR2="${VAR2//[[:space:]]/}"
/替换字符串中第一次出现的空格和//所有出现的空格。也就是说，所有的空格都被- nothing取代
剥离一个前导和一个后导空间
trim()
{
local trimmed="$1"
# Strip leading space.
trimmed="${trimmed## }"
# Strip trailing space.
trimmed="${trimmed%% }"
echo "$trimmed"
}
例如:
test1="$(trim " one leading")"
test2="$(trim "one trailing ")"
test3="$(trim " one leading and one trailing ")"
echo "'$test1', '$test2', '$test3'"
输出:
'one leading', 'one trailing', 'one leading and one trailing'
去掉所有前导和尾随空格
trim()
{
local trimmed="$1"
# Strip leading spaces.
while [[ $trimmed == ' '* ]]; do
trimmed="${trimmed## }"
done
# Strip trailing spaces.
while [[ $trimmed == *' ' ]]; do
trimmed="${trimmed%% }"
done
echo "$trimmed"
}
例如:
test4="$(trim " two leading")"
test5="$(trim "two trailing ")"
test6="$(trim " two leading and two trailing ")"
echo "'$test4', '$test5', '$test6'"
输出:
'two leading', 'two trailing', 'two leading and two trailing'
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 "$x" ]; then echo hi; fi
hi
虽然它不是严格的Bash，这将做你想要的和更多:
php -r '$x = trim(" hi there "); echo $x;'
如果你也想让它小写，可以这样做:
php -r '$x = trim(" Hi There "); $x = strtolower($x) ; echo $x;'
