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。

"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 $?
}

剥离一个前导和一个后导空间

trim()
{
    local trimmed="$1"

    # Strip leading space.
    trimmed="${trimmed## }"
    # Strip trailing space.
    trimmed="${trimmed%% }"

    echo "$trimmed"
}

例如:

test1="$(trim " one leading")"
test2="$(trim "one trailing ")"
test3="$(trim " one leading and one trailing ")"
echo "'$test1', '$test2', '$test3'"

输出:

'one leading', 'one trailing', 'one leading and one trailing'

去掉所有前导和尾随空格

trim()
{
    local trimmed="$1"

    # Strip leading spaces.
    while [[ $trimmed == ' '* ]]; do
       trimmed="${trimmed## }"
    done
    # Strip trailing spaces.
    while [[ $trimmed == *' ' ]]; do
        trimmed="${trimmed%% }"
    done

    echo "$trimmed"
}

例如:

test4="$(trim "  two leading")"
test5="$(trim "two trailing  ")"
test6="$(trim "  two leading and two trailing  ")"
echo "'$test4', '$test5', '$test6'"

输出:

'two leading', 'two trailing', 'two leading and two trailing'

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

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.

这里有一个trim()函数,用于修整和规范化空白

#!/bin/bash
function trim {
    echo $*
}

echo "'$(trim "  one   two    three  ")'"
# 'one two three'

还有一种使用正则表达式的变体。

#!/bin/bash
function trim {
    local trimmed="$@"
    if [[ "$trimmed" =~ " *([^ ].*[^ ]) *" ]]
    then 
        trimmed=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
    fi
    echo "$trimmed"
}

echo "'$(trim "  one   two    three  ")'"
# 'one   two    three'

Use:

trim() {
    local orig="$1"
    local trmd=""
    while true;
    do
        trmd="${orig#[[:space:]]}"
        trmd="${trmd%[[:space:]]}"
        test "$trmd" = "$orig" && break
        orig="$trmd"
    done
    printf -- '%s\n' "$trmd"
}

它适用于各种空格,包括换行符, 不需要修改shop。 它保留内部空白,包括换行符。

单元测试(用于手动检查):

#!/bin/bash

. trim.sh

enum() {
    echo "   a b c"
    echo "a b c   "
    echo "  a b c "
    echo " a b c  "
    echo " a  b c  "
    echo " a  b  c  "
    echo " a      b  c  "
    echo "     a      b  c  "
    echo "     a  b  c  "
    echo " a  b  c      "
    echo " a  b  c      "
    echo " a N b  c  "
    echo "N a N b  c  "
    echo " Na  b  c  "
    echo " a  b  c N "
    echo " a  b  c  N"
}

xcheck() {
    local testln result
    while IFS='' read testln;
    do
        testln=$(tr N '\n' <<<"$testln")
        echo ": ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :" >&2
        result="$(trim "$testln")"
        echo "testln='$testln'" >&2
        echo "result='$result'" >&2
    done
}

enum | xcheck
