也许我遗漏了一些明显的东西，因为我是bash/zsh的新手，但在我看来，您根本不需要使用printf。没有它也不会变得很难看。

join() {
  separator=$1
  arr=$*
  arr=${arr:2} # throw away separator and following space
  arr=${arr// /$separator}
}

至少，到目前为止，它对我来说是有效的。

例如，加入\| *.sh，假设我在~目录下，输出utilities.sh|play.sh|foobar.sh。对我来说足够好了。

编辑:这基本上是Nil Geisweiller的答案，但推广到一个函数。

感谢@gniourf_gniourf对我迄今为止的最佳世界组合的详细评论。很抱歉发布的代码没有完全设计和测试。这是一个更好的尝试。

# join with separator
join_ws() { local d=$1 s=$2; shift 2 && printf %s "$s${@/#/$d}"; }

这种概念上的美是

(still) 100% pure bash ( thanks for explicitly pointing out that printf is a builtin as well. I wasn't aware about this before ... ) works with multi-character delimiters more compact and more complete and this time carefully thought over and long-term stress-tested with random substrings from shell scripts amongst others, covering use of shell special characters or control characters or no characters in both separator and / or parameters, and edge cases, and corner cases and other quibbles like no arguments at all. That doesn't guarantee there is no more bug, but it will be a little harder challenge to find one. BTW, even the currently top voted answers and related suffer from such things like that -e bug ...

附加的例子:

$ join_ws '' a b c
abc
$ join_ws ':' {1,7}{A..C}
1A:1B:1C:7A:7B:7C
$ join_ws -e -e
-e
$ join_ws $'\033[F' $'\n\n\n'  1.  2.  3.  $'\n\n\n\n'
3.
2.
1.
$ join_ws $ 
$

awk -v sep=. 'BEGIN{ORS=OFS="";for(i=1;i<ARGC;i++){print ARGV[i],ARGC-i-1?sep:""}}' "${arr[@]}"

or

$ a=(1 "a b" 3)
$ b=$(IFS=, ; echo "${a[*]}")
$ echo $b
1,a b,3

liststr=""
for item in list
do
    liststr=$item,$liststr
done
LEN=`expr length $liststr`
LEN=`expr $LEN - 1`
liststr=${liststr:0:$LEN}

这也可以处理结尾多余的逗号。我不是bash专家。只是我的2c，因为这更基本，更容易理解

x = $ {arr [*] / /,)

这是做这件事最短的方法。

的例子,

# ZSH:
arr=(1 "2 3" 4 5)
x=${"${arr[*]}"// /,}
echo $x  # output: 1,2,3,4,5

# ZSH/BASH:
arr=(1 "2 3" 4 5)
a=${arr[*]}
x=${a// /,}
echo $x  # output: 1,2,3,4,5

下面是大多数POSIX兼容shell支持的一个:

join_by() {
    # Usage:  join_by "||" a b c d
    local arg arr=() sep="$1"
    shift
    for arg in "$@"; do
        if [ 0 -lt "${#arr[@]}" ]; then
            arr+=("${sep}")
        fi
        arr+=("${arg}") || break
    done
    printf "%s" "${arr[@]}"
}
