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。

将空格移到一个空格:

(text) | fmt -su

从Bash指南的通配符部分

在参数展开中使用extglob

 #Turn on extended globbing  
shopt -s extglob  
 #Trim leading and trailing whitespace from a variable  
x=${x##+([[:space:]])}; x=${x%%+([[:space:]])}  
 #Turn off extended globbing  
shopt -u extglob  

下面是相同的函数封装在函数中(注意:需要引用传递给函数的输入字符串):

trim() {
    # Determine if 'extglob' is currently on.
    local extglobWasOff=1
    shopt extglob >/dev/null && extglobWasOff=0 
    (( extglobWasOff )) && shopt -s extglob # Turn 'extglob' on, if currently turned off.
    # Trim leading and trailing whitespace
    local var=$1
    var=${var##+([[:space:]])}
    var=${var%%+([[:space:]])}
    (( extglobWasOff )) && shopt -u extglob # If 'extglob' was off before, turn it back off.
    echo -n "$var"  # Output trimmed string.
}

用法:

string="   abc def ghi  ";
#need to quote input-string to preserve internal white-space if any
trimmed=$(trim "$string");  
echo "$trimmed";

如果我们将函数更改为在subshell中执行,我们不必担心检查extglob的当前shell选项,我们可以只设置它而不影响当前shell。这极大地简化了函数。我还更新了位置参数“就地”,所以我甚至不需要一个局部变量

trim() {
    shopt -s extglob
    set -- "${1##+([[:space:]])}"
    printf "%s" "${1%%+([[:space:]])}" 
}

so:

$ s=$'\t\n \r\tfoo  '
$ shopt -u extglob
$ shopt extglob
extglob         off
$ printf ">%q<\n" "$s" "$(trim "$s")"
>$'\t\n \r\tfoo  '<
>foo<
$ shopt extglob
extglob         off

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。

有一个解决方案只使用Bash内置的通配符:

var="    abc    "
# remove leading whitespace characters
var="${var#"${var%%[![:space:]]*}"}"
# remove trailing whitespace characters
var="${var%"${var##*[![:space:]]}"}"   
printf '%s' "===$var==="

下面是同样的包装在一个函数中:

trim() {
    local var="$*"
    # remove leading whitespace characters
    var="${var#"${var%%[![:space:]]*}"}"
    # remove trailing whitespace characters
    var="${var%"${var##*[![:space:]]}"}"
    printf '%s' "$var"
}

你传递要以引号形式修剪的字符串,例如:

trim "   abc   "

这个解决方案的一个优点是它可以与任何posix兼容的shell一起工作。

从Bash变量中删除前导和尾随空格(原始源代码)

我必须测试一个命令的结果(数字),但似乎变量的结果包含空格和一些不可打印的字符。因此,即使经过“修整”,这种比较也是错误的。 我通过从变量中提取数值部分来解决它:

numerical_var=$(echo ${var_with_result_from_command} | grep -o "[0-9]*")
# Strip leading and trailing white space (new line inclusive).
trim(){
    [[ "$1" =~ [^[:space:]](.*[^[:space:]])? ]]
    printf "%s" "$BASH_REMATCH"
}

OR

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

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

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

OR

# Strip leading and trailing specified characters.  ex: str=$(trim "$str" $'\n a')
trim(){
    if [ "$2" ]; then
        trim_chrs="$2"
    else
        trim_chrs="[:space:]"
    fi

    [[ "$1" =~ ^["$trim_chrs"]*(.*[^"$trim_chrs"])["$trim_chrs"]*$ ]]
    printf "%s" "${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
}

OR

# Strip leading specified characters.  ex: str=$(ltrim "$str" $'\n a')
ltrim(){
    if [ "$2" ]; then
        trim_chrs="$2"
    else
        trim_chrs="[:space:]"
    fi

    [[ "$1" =~ ^["$trim_chrs"]*(.*[^"$trim_chrs"]) ]]
    printf "%s" "${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
}

# Strip trailing specified characters.  ex: str=$(rtrim "$str" $'\n a')
rtrim(){
    if [ "$2" ]; then
        trim_chrs="$2"
    else
        trim_chrs="[:space:]"
    fi

    [[ "$1" =~ ^(.*[^"$trim_chrs"])["$trim_chrs"]*$ ]]
    printf "%s" "${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
}

# Strip leading and trailing specified characters.  ex: str=$(trim "$str" $'\n a')
trim(){
    printf "%s" "$(rtrim "$(ltrim "$1" "$2")" "$2")"
}
