linux – 当分割成多行时,如何避免echo中的空格

$echo "a"             "b"
a b
$echo "a" "b"
a b
$echo "a"
>           "b"
a b

如果要完全控制要打印的内容,请使用带有printf的数组：

lines=("This is a very long string. An"
       "d it is printed in one line")
printf "%s" "${lines[@]}"
printf "n"

这将返回：

This is a very long string. And it is printed in one line

或者作为suggested by 123 in comments,使用echo也将数组设置IFS设置为null：

# we define the same array $lines as above

$IFS=""
$echo "${lines[*]}"
This is a very long string. And it is printed in one line
$unset IFS
$echo "${lines[*]}"
This is a very long string. An d it is printed in one line
#                             ^
#                             note the space

从Bash manual → 3.4.2. Special Parameters开始：

*

($) Expands to the positional parameters,starting from one. When the expansion is not within double quotes,each positional parameter expands to a separate word. In contexts where it is performed,those words are subject to further word splitting and pathname expansion. When the expansion occurs within double quotes,it expands to a single word with the value of each parameter separated by the first character of the IFS special variable. That is,“$” is equivalent to “$1c$2c…”,where c is the first character of the value of the IFS variable. If IFS is unset,the parameters are separated by spaces. If IFS is null,the parameters are joined without intervening separators.
