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

我相信这是最短的解决方案，正如Benamin W.已经提到的:

(IFS=,; printf %s "${a[*]}")

想要添加，如果你使用zsh，你可以删除子shell:

IFS=, printf %s "${a[*]}"

测试:

a=(1 'a b' 3)
IFS=, printf %s "${a[*]}"
1,a b,3

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}"
}

顶部答案的简短版本:

joinStrings() { local a=("${@:3}"); printf "%s" "$2${a[@]/#/$1}"; }

用法:

joinStrings "$myDelimiter" "${myArray[@]}"

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.

1.
$ join_ws $
