Sanitize

str_sanitise¶

Strip surrounding quotes, trailing ':' or '=' separators, and leading/trailing whitespace from a string. Accepts input as an argument or via stdin. Note: '%%:' and '%%=' strip from the first delimiter onwards — do not use on values that legitimately contain ':' or '=' (e.g. URLs).

Example¶

str_sanitise '"  Bytes:  "'   # => Bytes
printf '%s' '"key": ' | str_sanitise  # => key

Arguments¶

• $1 (string): Optional: the string to sanitise (reads stdin if omitted)

Exit codes¶

• 0: Always

Output on stdout¶

• Sanitised string
