如何在复制到剪贴板时删除换行符

Question

I'm using alot readlink command, and what I'm trying to do is to create a short cut for this. I've added this to ~/.bashrc

rl() { readlink -f "$1" | xclip -i -selection clipboard; }

But when I want to paste it by pressing ctrl+v , terminal is trying to execute a command. Which is not what I want, I suspect it because there is a newline character at the end.

So the question is how to make this command copy to the clipboard and make the cursor stay at the the same line when pasting it?

Answer 1

Just found an answer:

  -n, --no-newline do not output the trailing newline 

rl() { readlink -fn "$1" | xclip -i -selection clipboard; }
