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

使用AWK:

echo $var | awk '{gsub(/^ +| +$/,"")}1'

其他回答

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)

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

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<

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

这修整了前端和末端的多个空间

whatever=${whatever%% *}

无论= ${无论# *}
