To remove Continous blank spaces from a file in UNIX
All...
I want to remove blank spaces in file . I just leraned that we can use
" cat <Input filename> | tr -s ‘ ‘ > <Target file name> "
i also know with SED we can replace a blank space by other character by
sed s/ /*/g filename.
Please let me know how can i do that by removing the space in sed
1) by modiying the new file . i mean that remove spaces in the file and store it
2) remove spaces in the file and store it in other file
Thanks in advance,
Arun.

ropkg::rsync::atom
RoPkg::Rsync::Atom(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation RoPkg::Rsync::Atom(3pm)
NAME
RoPkg::Rsync::Atom - the smallest unit in a rsync configuration file
SYPONSIS
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use RoPkg::Rsync::Atom;
sub main {
my $a = new RoPkg::Rsync::Atom(
type => 'param',
name => 'uid',
value => 'nobody',
);
print $a->ToString(0),$/;
return 0;
}
main();
DESCRIPTION
RoPkg::Rsync::Atom is a class used by RoPkg::Rsync modules. The Atom is considered the smallest part of any rsync configuration file. An
atom can be (at this moment):
param
blank
comment
METHODS
All methods, throw the OutsideClass exception, if you use them as class methods.
Example:
perl -MRoPkg::Rsync::Atom -e 'RoPkg::Rsync::Atom->Type;'
Called outside class instance
Besides OutsideClass the methods are throwing other exceptions as well. Refer to each method documentation for more information.
new()
The constructor of the class. new accepts 3 parameters grouped inside a hash:
*) type - type of the atom
*) name - name of the atom
*) value - value of the atom
The type parameter must always be present. If the type parameter is not present, a Param::Missing exception is raised. At this moment, the
atoms have 3 types:
*) param - a parameter in the standard form (name = value)
*) comment - a comment
*) blank - a blank line (or only with separators)
If the value of the type parameter is not one of the ones specified a Param::Wrong exception is raised.
Examples:
example 1 (param):
my $a = new RoPkg::Rsync::Atom(
type => 'param',
name => 'gid',
value => 'users',
);
example 2 (param):
my $a = new RoPkg::Rsync::Atom(type => 'param');
$a->Name('gid');
$a->Value('users');
print 'Name of the atom is:',$a->Name,$/;
example 3 (comment):
my $a = new RoPkg::Rsync::Atom(
type => 'comment',
value => '# this is the group id',
);
example 4 (blank):
my $a = new RoPkg::Rsync::Atom(
type => 'blank',
value => q{ },
);
Name($new_name)
The Name method is a get/set method. If $new_name exists (and his value is defined) then the set behaviour is selected, otherwise the
method acts as a get method. Returns the name of the atom.
Value($new_value)
The Value method is a get/set method. If $new_value exists (and his value is defined) then the set behaviour is selected, otherwise the
method acts as a get method. Returns the value of the atom.
ToString($indent, $spaces)
Returns the string representation of the atom. Accepts 2 parameters: indent and spaces. $indent is a true/false value specifing that the
string representation should be prefixed with a tab character; $spaces is used to compute the number of spaces that should be added after
the atom name, so that the total length of the parameter name to match the $spaces value.
Example:
my $a = new RoPkg::Rsync::Atom(
type => 'param',
name => 'gid',
value => 'users',
);
print $a->ToString(0, 6),$/,
$a->ToString(0, 5),$/,
$a->ToString(0, 4),$/,
$a->ToString(0, 3),$/,
$a->ToString(1, 6),$/,
$a->ToString(1, 5),$/,
$a->ToString(1, 4),$/,
$a->ToString(1, 3),$/;
The result is:
gid = users
gid = users
gid = users
gid = users
gid = users
gid = users
gid = users
gid = users
Type
Returns the type (string representation) of the atom.
