This happens repeatedly and is very annoying. I upload some PHP code to a client's server. A few weeks pass. They ask for a change to be made and I re-download the code as they've made some changes. However, my code which used to be neat and tidy the last time I looked at it now has an extra lines of whitespace added everywhere. So now w...

In bash one can escape arguments that contain whitespace. foo "a string" This also works for arguments to a command or function: bar() { foo "$@" } bar "a string" So far so good, but what if I want to manipulate the arguments before calling foo?

Is there a reg ex or function out there I could use to do this? Thanks ...
