对我来说,发布的解决方案看起来有些神秘。这是Python 3.6中的解决方案:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from pathlib import Path                                                                                                                                                              
import sys                                                                                                                                                                            
import fileinput                                                                                                                                                                      
def remove_multiple_blank_lines_from_file(path, strip_right=True): 
    non_blank_lines_out_of_two_last_lines = [True, True] 
    for line in fileinput.input(str(path), inplace=True): 
        non_blank_lines_out_of_two_last_lines.pop(0) 
        non_blank_lines_out_of_two_last_lines.append(bool(line.strip())) 
        if sum(non_blank_lines_out_of_two_last_lines) > 0: 
            line_to_write = line.rstrip() + '\n' if strip_right else line 
            sys.stdout.write(line_to_write)
def remove_multiple_blank_lines_by_glob(rglob='*', path=Path('.'), strip_right=True): 
    for p in path.rglob(rglob): 
        if p.is_file(): 
            try:
                remove_multiple_blank_lines_from_file(p, strip_right=strip_right)
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"File '{p}' was not processed due the error: {e}")
if __name__ == '__main__':
    remove_multiple_blank_lines_by_glob(sys.argv[1], Path(sys.argv[2]), next(iter(sys.argv[3:]), None) == '--strip-right')
您可以从解释器调用函数,也可以从外壳运行它,例如:
$ ./remove_multiple_lines.py '*' /tmp/ --strip-right
