这些解决方案中的许多(如果不是大多数的话)依赖于晦涩难懂的语法、耗费脑力的正则表达式技巧或对外部可执行文件的调用。我想提出一个简单的、只使用bash的解决方案，它非常容易理解，在性能方面只是稍微次优。

join_by () {
    # Argument #1 is the separator. It can be multi-character.
    # Argument #2, 3, and so on, are the elements to be joined.
    # Usage: join_by ", " "${array[@]}"
    local SEPARATOR="$1"
    shift

    local F=0
    for x in "$@"
    do
        if [[ F -eq 1 ]]
        then
            echo -n "$SEPARATOR"
        else
            F=1
        fi
        echo -n "$x"
    done
    echo
}

例子:

$ a=( 1 "2 2" 3 )
$ join_by ", " "${a[@]}"
1, 2 2, 3
$ 

我想指出，任何使用/usr/bin/[或/usr/bin/printf的解决方案本质上都比我的解决方案慢，因为我使用100%纯bash。作为性能的一个例子，这里有一个演示，我创建了一个包含1,000,000个随机整数的数组，然后用逗号将它们全部连接起来，并计时。

$ eval $(echo -n "a=("; x=0 ; while [[ x -lt 1000000 ]]; do echo -n " $RANDOM" ; x=$((x+1)); done; echo " )")
$ time join_by , ${a[@]} >/dev/null
real    0m8.590s
user    0m8.591s
sys     0m0.000s
$ 

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

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"

也许迟到了，但这对我来说是可行的:

function joinArray() {
  local delimiter="${1}"
  local output="${2}"
  for param in ${@:3}; do
    output="${output}${delimiter}${param}"
  done

  echo "${output}"
}

这里有一个单行，有点奇怪，但适用于多字符分隔符，并支持任何值(包括包含空格或任何东西):

ar=(abc "foo bar" 456)
delim=" | "
printf "%s\n$delim\n" "${ar[@]}" | head -n-1 | paste -sd ''

这将在控制台显示为

abc | foo bar | 456

注意:注意一些解决方案是如何使用${ar[*]}和${ar[@]}的printf ?

带@的使用printf特性，通过重复格式模板来支持多个参数。

带*的不应该使用。它们实际上不需要打印，而是依赖于操作字段分隔符和bash的单词展开。这些方法同样适用于echo、cat等——这些解决方案可能使用printf，因为作者并不真正理解他们在做什么……
