使用sed删除空行

本文翻译自：Delete empty lines using sed

I am trying to delete empty lines using sed: 我试图使用sed删除空行：

sed '/^$/d'

but I have no luck with it. 但我没有运气。

For example, I have these lines: 例如，我有这些行：

xxxxxx


yyyyyy


zzzzzz

and I want it to be like: 我希望它像：

xxxxxx
yyyyyy
zzzzzz

What should be the code for this? 应该是什么代码？

sed '/^$/d' should be fine, are you expecting to modify the file in place? sed '/^$/d'应该没问题，您是否希望修改文件到位？ If so you should use the -i flag. 如果是这样，你应该使用-i标志。

Maybe those lines are not empty, so if that's the case, look at this question Remove empty lines from txtfiles, remove spaces from start and end of line I believe that's what you're trying to achieve. 也许那些行不是空的，所以如果是这样的话，看看这个问题从txtfiles中删除空行，从行的开头和结尾删除空格我相信这是你想要实现的。

You may have spaces or tabs in your "empty" line. 您的“空”行可能包含空格或制表符。 Use POSIX classes with sed to remove all lines containing only whitespace: 使用带有sed POSIX类删除仅包含空格的所有行：

sed '/^[[:space:]]*$/d'

A shorter version that uses ERE, for example with gnu sed: 使用ERE的较短版本，例如使用gnu sed：

sed -r '/^\s*$/d'

(Note that sed does NOT support PCRE.) （请注意，sed的不支持PCRE）。

你可以说：

sed -n '/ / p' filename    #there is a space between '//'

With help from the accepted answer here and the accepted answer above, I have used: 在此处接受的答案和上面接受的答案的帮助下，我使用了：

$ sed 's/^ *//; s/ *$//; /^$/d; /^\s*$/d' file.txt > output.txt

`s/^ *//`  => left trim
`s/ *$//`  => right trim
`/^$/d`    => remove empty line
`/^\s*$/d` => delete lines which may contain white space

This covers all the bases and works perfectly for my needs. 这涵盖了所有基础，完美地满足了我的需求。 Kudos to the original posters @Kent and @kev 感谢@Kent和@kev的原创海报

您也可以使用“grep”执行类似的操作：

egrep -v "^$" file.txt
