Hi,

I try to get the executable path from a dub package using this command:

dub describe dscanner --data=target-path,target-name --data-list | xargs

But the output always contains a space between target-path and target-name: /home/user/.dub/packages/dscanner-0.8.0/dscanner/bin/ dscanner

How can I get the full path without a space on a debian system in a 1 liner?

Try:
        ... | sed -e's@ @@g'

Thanks a lot. Works fine:)
dub describe dscanner --data=target-path,target-name --data-list | xargs | sed -e's@ @@g'

It's better to only replace the last occurrence, so it won't break on
paths containing spaces:

    ... | sed 's/\(.*\) /\1/'

There should probably just be a switch to use NUL characters as the
delimiter though.
