这个特别适用于busybox的sh和$@:

$ FOO=(a b c)
$ printf '%s\n' "${FOO[@]}" | paste -sd,
a,b,c

Or:

join_by() {
    local d=$1
    shift
    printf '%s\n' "$@" | paste -sd "$d"
}
join_by , "${FOO[@]}"  # a,b,c

还有另一个解决方案:

#!/bin/bash
foo=('foo bar' 'foo baz' 'bar baz')
bar=$(printf ",%s" "${foo[@]}")
bar=${bar:1}

echo $bar

编辑:相同，但用于多字符可变长度分隔符:

#!/bin/bash
separator=")|(" # e.g. constructing regex, pray it does not contain %s
foo=('foo bar' 'foo baz' 'bar baz')
regex="$( printf "${separator}%s" "${foo[@]}" )"
regex="${regex:${#separator}}" # remove leading separator
echo "${regex}"
# Prints: foo bar)|(foo baz)|(bar baz

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}"
}

这个简单的单字符分隔符解决方案需要非posix模式。在POSIX模式下，元素仍然正确地连接，但IFS=，赋值变成永久的。

IFS=, eval 'joined="${foo[*]}"'

使用#!bash头在默认情况下以非posix模式执行，但为了帮助确保脚本以非posix模式运行，请在脚本开头添加set +o posix或shop -uo posix。

对于多字符分隔符，我建议使用带有转义和索引技术的printf解决方案。

function join {
    local __sep=${2-} __temp
    printf -v __temp "${__sep//%/%%}%s" "${@:3}"
    printf -v "$1" %s "${__temp:${#__sep}}"
}

join joined ', ' "${foo[@]}"

Or

function join {
    printf -v __ "${1//%/%%}%s" "${@:2}"
    __=${__:${#1}}
}

join ', ' "${foo[@]}"
joined=$__

这是基于里卡多加利的回答和我的建议。

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 $ 
$

也许,例如,

SAVE_IFS="$IFS"
IFS=","
FOOJOIN="${FOO[*]}"
IFS="$SAVE_IFS"

echo "$FOOJOIN"
