Unix: command to strip white space characters
-
14-11-2019 - |
Question
When I do the following unix command:
pwd | pbcopy
is there something I can add to the command so that the string copied to my clipboard does not have any trailing whitespace?
(fyi: The reason I ask is because when I pipe the output to pbcopy, it copies a newline character at the end, which for my purposes, I don't want)
Solution
You can achieve that effect with:
echo -n `pwd` | pbcopy
