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。

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

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")")"
}

"trim"函数删除所有水平空白:

ltrim () {
    if [[ $# -eq 0 ]]; then cat; else printf -- '%s\n' "$@"; fi | perl -pe 's/^\h+//g'
    return $?
}

rtrim () {
    if [[ $# -eq 0 ]]; then cat; else printf -- '%s\n' "$@"; fi | perl -pe 's/\h+$//g'
    return $?
}

trim () {
    ltrim "$@" | rtrim
    return $?
}

这修整了前端和末端的多个空间

whatever=${whatever%% *}

无论= ${无论# *}

使用这个简单的Bash参数展开:

$ x=" a z     e r ty "
$ echo "START[${x// /}]END"
START[azerty]END

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.
