SED whitespace removal within a string
- by blazeprogrammer
I'm trying to use sed to replace whitespace within a string. For example, given the line:
var test = 'Some test text here.';
I want to get:
var test = 'Sometesttexthere.';
I've tried using (\x27 matches the '):
sed 's|\x27\([^x27[:space:]]*\)[[:space:]]|\x27\1|g
but that just gives
var test = 'Sometest text here.';
Any ideas?
