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

在BASH中有几个不同的选项:

line=${line##+([[:space:]])}    # strip leading whitespace;  no quote expansion!
line=${line%%+([[:space:]])}   # strip trailing whitespace; no quote expansion!
line=${line//[[:space:]]/}   # strip all whitespace
line=${line//[[:space:]]/}   # strip all whitespace

line=${line//[[:blank:]]/}   # strip all blank space

前两个需要预先设置/启用extglob:

shopt -s extglob  # bash only

注意:引号内的变量展开打破了前两个例子!

这里详细介绍了POSIX括号表达式的模式匹配行为。如果您正在使用更现代/可黑客的shell,例如Fish,则有用于字符串修剪的内置函数。

其他回答

我总是用sed来做

  var=`hg st -R "$path" | sed -e 's/  *$//'`

如果有更优雅的解决方案,我希望有人能发布出来。

这是我见过的最简单的方法。它只使用Bash,只有几行,regexp很简单,它匹配所有形式的空白:

if [[ "$test" =~ ^[[:space:]]*([^[:space:]].*[^[:space:]])[[:space:]]*$ ]]
then 
    test=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
fi

下面是一个用于测试的示例脚本:

test=$(echo -e "\n \t Spaces and tabs and newlines be gone! \t  \n ")

echo "Let's see if this works:"
echo
echo "----------"
echo -e "Testing:${test} :Tested"  # Ugh!
echo "----------"
echo
echo "Ugh!  Let's fix that..."

if [[ "$test" =~ ^[[:space:]]*([^[:space:]].*[^[:space:]])[[:space:]]*$ ]]
then 
    test=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
fi

echo
echo "----------"
echo -e "Testing:${test}:Tested"  # "Testing:Spaces and tabs and newlines be gone!"
echo "----------"
echo
echo "Ah, much better."

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<
# Trim whitespace from both ends of specified parameter

trim () {
    read -rd '' $1 <<<"${!1}"
}

# Unit test for trim()

test_trim () {
    local foo="$1"
    trim foo
    test "$foo" = "$2"
}

test_trim hey hey &&
test_trim '  hey' hey &&
test_trim 'ho  ' ho &&
test_trim 'hey ho' 'hey ho' &&
test_trim '  hey  ho  ' 'hey  ho' &&
test_trim $'\n\n\t hey\n\t ho \t\n' $'hey\n\t ho' &&
test_trim $'\n' '' &&
test_trim '\n' '\n' &&
echo passed

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;'
