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
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。
其他回答
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。
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<
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
#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 $var2
还有一个单元测试的解决方案,它从stdin中删除$IFS,并适用于任何输入分隔符(甚至$'\0'):
ltrim()
{
# Left-trim $IFS from stdin as a single line
# $1: Line separator (default NUL)
local trimmed
while IFS= read -r -d "${1-}" -u 9
do
if [ -n "${trimmed+defined}" ]
then
printf %s "$REPLY"
else
printf %s "${REPLY#"${REPLY%%[!$IFS]*}"}"
fi
printf "${1-\x00}"
trimmed=true
done 9<&0
if [[ $REPLY ]]
then
# No delimiter at last line
if [ -n "${trimmed+defined}" ]
then
printf %s "$REPLY"
else
printf %s "${REPLY#"${REPLY%%[!$IFS]*}"}"
fi
fi
}
rtrim()
{
# Right-trim $IFS from stdin as a single line
# $1: Line separator (default NUL)
local previous last
while IFS= read -r -d "${1-}" -u 9
do
if [ -n "${previous+defined}" ]
then
printf %s "$previous"
printf "${1-\x00}"
fi
previous="$REPLY"
done 9<&0
if [[ $REPLY ]]
then
# No delimiter at last line
last="$REPLY"
printf %s "$previous"
if [ -n "${previous+defined}" ]
then
printf "${1-\x00}"
fi
else
last="$previous"
fi
right_whitespace="${last##*[!$IFS]}"
printf %s "${last%$right_whitespace}"
}
trim()
{
# Trim $IFS from individual lines
# $1: Line separator (default NUL)
ltrim ${1+"$@"} | rtrim ${1+"$@"}
}
