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。

#Execute this script with the string argument passed in double quotes !! 
#var2 gives the string without spaces.
#$1 is the string passed in double quotes
#!/bin/bash
var2=`echo $1 | sed 's/ \+//g'`
echo $var2

建立在moskit的expr soulution…

# Strip leading and trailing white space (new line inclusive).
trim(){
    printf "%s" "`expr "$1" : "^[[:space:]]*\(.*[^[:space:]]\)[[:space:]]*$"`"
}

OR

# Strip leading white space (new line inclusive).
ltrim(){
    printf "%s" "`expr "$1" : "^[[:space:]]*\(.*[^[:space:]]\)"`"
}

# Strip trailing white space (new line inclusive).
rtrim(){
    printf "%s" "`expr "$1" : "^\(.*[^[:space:]]\)[[:space:]]*$"`"
}

# Strip leading and trailing white space (new line inclusive).
trim(){
    printf "%s" "$(rtrim "$(ltrim "$1")")"
}

如果启用了shop -s extglob,那么下面是一个简洁的解决方案。

这招对我很管用:

text="   trim my edges    "

trimmed=$text
trimmed=${trimmed##+( )} #Remove longest matching series of spaces from the front
trimmed=${trimmed%%+( )} #Remove longest matching series of spaces from the back

echo "<$trimmed>" #Adding angle braces just to make it easier to confirm that all spaces are removed

#Result
<trim my edges>

用更少的行数来获得相同的结果:

text="    trim my edges    "
trimmed=${${text##+( )}%%+( )}

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。

一个简单的答案是:

echo "   lol  " | xargs

Xargs将为您做修剪。这是一个命令/程序,没有参数,返回修剪后的字符串,就这么简单!

注意:这并没有删除所有的内部空格,所以“foo bar”保持不变;它不会变成“foobar”。但是,多个空格将被压缩为单个空格,因此“foo bar”将变成“foo bar”。此外,它不会删除行尾字符。

你可以使用tr删除换行符:

var=`hg st -R "$path" | tr -d '\n'`
if [ -n $var ]; then
    echo $var
done
