Hi guys
I am performing a simple test for a blank string with the following code:
Code:
if [[ ! ${user_input} =~ [^[:space:]] ]] ; then
echo "Blanks are NOT a valid input "
return 1
fi
The above fails giving a syntax error message:
Code:
syntax error at line 142 : `=~' unexpected
I am in ksh88
is there any other way to test for a blank string. (it should have blanks and/or tabs to be blank) ?
or maybe someone can tell me what am I doing wrong in the code above. Thanks a lot for advice -A
can any help how to remove blank spaces in a string?
STR="GOOD BYE"
by removing blank spaces, the string should be GOOD,BYE
thanks in advance (2 Replies)

mlm
FBB::mlm(3bobcat) OFoldStream manipulator FBB::mlm(3bobcat)NAME
FBB::mlm - Manipulator modifying left margins of OFoldStream objects
SYNOPSIS
#include <bobcat/ofoldstream> or
#include <bobcat/ofoldstreambuf>
Linking option: -lbobcat
DESCRIPTION
The mlm class implements a manipulator that can be inserted into OFoldStream objects to modify the stream's left margin by a requested
amount. The request cannot result in a negative left margin value. If a negative left margin would be the arithmetic result of the request
then left margin 0 will silently be used.
Depending on the tab-setting of the OFoldStream the inserted value represents the number of blank space characters or the number of
tab-characters that will be added to the left margin.
The request will be processed at the next newline character or std::flush or std::endl manipulator that is inserted into the stream. If a
line is still empty once an mlm object and a flush manipulator are inserted into the stream then the new left margin will be effective at
the next word inserted into that line (cf., the example section below)
A bad_cast exception is thrown when the manipulator is inserted into an ostream that is not using a OFoldStreambuf buffer.
