通过重用@doesn't matters的解决方案，但通过避免${:1}的替换和中间变量的需要，使用了一个语句。

echo $(printf "%s," "${LIST[@]}" | cut -d "," -f 1-${#LIST[@]} )

printf有'格式字符串被重复使用，以满足参数。，这样字符串的连接就被记录下来了。然后诀窍是使用LIST长度来切割最后一个sperator，因为cut将只保留LIST的长度作为字段计数。

下面是一个100%纯Bash函数，它可以完成这项工作:

join() {
    # $1 is return variable name
    # $2 is sep
    # $3... are the elements to join
    local retname=$1 sep=$2 ret=$3
    shift 3 || shift $(($#))
    printf -v "$retname" "%s" "$ret${@/#/$sep}"
}

看:

$ a=( one two "three three" four five )
$ join joineda " and " "${a[@]}"
$ echo "$joineda"
one and two and three three and four and five
$ join joinedb randomsep "only one element"
$ echo "$joinedb"
only one element
$ join joinedc randomsep
$ echo "$joinedc"

$ a=( $' stuff with\nnewlines\n' $'and trailing newlines\n\n' )
$ join joineda $'a sep with\nnewlines\n' "${a[@]}"
$ echo "$joineda"
 stuff with
newlines
a sep with
newlines
and trailing newlines


$

这甚至保留了末尾的换行符，并且不需要一个子shell来获得函数的结果。如果你不喜欢printf -v(为什么你不喜欢它?)并传递一个变量名，你当然可以为返回的字符串使用一个全局变量:

join() {
    # $1 is sep
    # $2... are the elements to join
    # return is in global variable join_ret
    local sep=$1 IFS=
    join_ret=$2
    shift 2 || shift $(($#))
    join_ret+="${*/#/$sep}"
}

如果你在循环中构建数组，这里有一个简单的方法:

arr=()
for x in $(some_cmd); do
   arr+=($x,)
done
arr[-1]=${arr[-1]%,}
echo ${arr[*]}

我的尝试。

$ array=(one two "three four" five)
$ echo "${array[0]}$(printf " SEP %s" "${array[@]:1}")"
one SEP two SEP three four SEP five

使用perl实现多字符分隔符:

function join {
   perl -e '$s = shift @ARGV; print join($s, @ARGV);' "$@"; 
}

join ', ' a b c # a, b, c

或者在一行中:

perl -le 'print join(shift, @ARGV);' ', ' 1 2 3
1, 2, 3

这种方法处理值中的空格，但需要一个循环:

#!/bin/bash

FOO=( a b c )
BAR=""

for index in ${!FOO[*]}
do
    BAR="$BAR,${FOO[$index]}"
done
echo ${BAR:1}
