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

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

Printf解决方案，接受任何长度的分隔符(基于@doesn't matters answer)

#/!bin/bash
foo=('foo bar' 'foo baz' 'bar baz')

sep=',' # can be of any length
bar=$(printf "${sep}%s" "${foo[@]}")
bar=${bar:${#sep}}

echo $bar

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

不使用外部命令:

$ FOO=( a b c )     # initialize the array
$ BAR=${FOO[@]}     # create a space delimited string from array
$ BAZ=${BAR// /,}   # use parameter expansion to substitute spaces with comma
$ echo $BAZ
a,b,c

警告，它假设元素没有空格。
