[Solved] Help with using tr - Removing white spaces
Hi,
I have a file that contains whitespaces with spaces and spaces and tabs on each line and am wanting to remove the whitespaces. My version of sed is one that does not recognize \t etc.
The sed and awk one-liners below that I found via Google both does not work.
Quote:
sed:
sed 's/^[ \t]*//;s/[ \t]*$//'
awk:
awk '{gsub(/^[ \t]+|[ \t]+$/,"");print}'
So my next best option is to use tr, am using tr -d '[:space:]' < in > out and while that one works, I am unfortunately losing the line endings.
When I run the tr command
The input below:
Becomes:
Preferably, I want it to be as below:
At the moment since I don't know how to get around this, am using a while read loop that reads each line and running tr -d '[:space:]' on each line. I believe this is a bit of an overkill.
Can anyone advise whether I should be able to get the desired result using tr instead of the while loop?
How would I delete white spaces in a specified file?
Also, I'd like to know what command I would use to take something off a regular expression, and put it onto another.
ie.
.

.
expression1 <take_off>
.
.
.
expression2 (put here)
.

Any help would be great, thanks! (10 Replies)

Hi,
Can anybody suggest me how to combine two strings with two or more white spaces and assign it to a variable?
E.g.
first=HAI
second=HELLO
third="$first $second" # appending strings with more than one white spaces
echo $third
this would print
HAI HELLO
Output appears... (2 Replies)

io::async::signal
IO::Async::Signal(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::Async::Signal(3pm)NAME
"IO::Async::Signal" - event callback on receipt of a POSIX signal
SYNOPSIS
use IO::Async::Signal;
use IO::Async::Loop;
my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;
my $signal = IO::Async::Signal->new(
name => "HUP",
on_receipt => sub {
print "I caught SIGHUP
";
},
);
$loop->add( $signal );
$loop->run;
DESCRIPTION
This subclass of IO::Async::Notifier invokes its callback when a particular POSIX signal is received.
Multiple objects can be added to a "Loop" that all watch for the same signal. The callback functions will all be invoked, in no particular
order.
EVENTS
The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters:
on_receipt
Invoked when the signal is received.
PARAMETERS
The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":
name => STRING
The name of the signal to watch. This should be a bare name like "TERM". Can only be given at construction time.
on_receipt => CODE
CODE reference for the "on_receipt" event.
Once constructed, the "Signal" will need to be added to the "Loop" before it will work.
