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
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 "'$(trim " one two three ")'"
# 'one two three'
其他回答
Trim()删除空白(以及制表符、不可打印字符;为了简单起见，我正在考虑使用空格)。我的解决方案是:
var="$(hg st -R "$path")" # I often like to enclose shell output in double quotes
var="$(echo "${var}" | sed "s/\(^ *\| *\$\)//g")" # This is my suggestion
if [ -n "$var" ]; then
echo "[${var}]"
fi
sed命令只修剪开头和结尾的空白，但它也可以被输送到第一个命令，导致:
var="$(hg st -R "$path" | sed "s/\(^ *\| *\$\)//g")"
if [ -n "$var" ]; then
echo "[${var}]"
fi
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 $var
hello
答案有很多，但我仍然认为我刚刚写的剧本值得一提，因为:
it was successfully tested in the shells bash/dash/busybox shell it is extremely small it doesn't depend on external commands and doesn't need to fork (->fast and low resource usage) it works as expected: it strips all spaces and tabs from beginning and end, but not more important: it doesn't remove anything from the middle of the string (many other answers do), even newlines will remain special: the "$*" 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<
使用Bash的扩展模式匹配功能(shopt -s extglob)，你可以这样使用:
修剪{# # * ()}
删除任意数量的前导空格。
这将删除字符串中的所有空格，
VAR2="${VAR2//[[:space:]]/}"
/替换字符串中第一次出现的空格和//所有出现的空格。也就是说，所有的空格都被- nothing取代
