How to remove newline character if it is the only character in the entire file.?
I have a file which comes every day and the file data look's as below.
Code:
Vi abc.txt
Code:
a|b|c|d\n
a|g|h|j\n
Some times we receive the file with only a new line character in the file like
Code:
vi abc.txt
Code:
\n
We need to handle the shell script such a way that if the entire file contains only a new line character then remove the new line character else don't touch the file .
