I've been looking for how to eliminate blank spaces in a variable or strings. I've seen several ways, using sed, awk and even python. One of them is use 'tr' command, but it does not work as I expected: For example:
leaves one space ahead and another behind. Why?
I also tried
and it works successfully. However, all samples I've seen with "tr", use -s option (which I guess it means replace) rather than -d option.
I'd like to know why.
I'm trying to find a command that will trim the white space off a string.
e.g.
$str = " stuf "
$str = trim ( $str )
echo $str // ouput would just be stuf

Hello,
I am passing a filename to a script to draw parameters from it. However, I want to use part of the filename as a parameter. The filename is transfer_ccf_3731_10.sh but I only need the 3731_10 part of it.
Is this possible? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
