这是以利亚·卡根所支持的观点的长版本:

while [ $(( i-- )) -gt 0 ]; do echo -n "  "; done

当然，你也可以使用printf，但不是我喜欢的:

printf "%$(( i*2 ))s"

这个版本与Dash兼容:

until [ $(( i=i-1 )) -lt 0 ]; do echo -n "  "; done

I是初始数。

for i in {1..100}
do
  echo -n '='
done
echo

我的答案有点复杂，可能并不完美，但对于那些希望输出大数字的人来说，我能够在3秒内完成大约1000万。

repeatString(){
    # argument 1: The string to print
    # argument 2: The number of times to print
    stringToPrint=$1
    length=$2

    # Find the largest integer value of x in 2^x=(number of times to repeat) using logarithms
    power=`echo "l(${length})/l(2)" | bc -l`
    power=`echo "scale=0; ${power}/1" | bc`

    # Get the difference between the length and 2^x
    diff=`echo "${length} - 2^${power}" | bc`

    # Double the string length to the power of x
    for i in `seq "${power}"`; do 
        stringToPrint="${stringToPrint}${stringToPrint}"
    done

    #Since we know that the string is now at least bigger than half the total, grab however many more we need and add it to the string.
    stringToPrint="${stringToPrint}${stringToPrint:0:${diff}}"
    echo ${stringToPrint}
}

一种纯粹的Bash方式，没有eval，没有subshell，没有外部工具，没有大括号展开(即，你可以在变量中重复数字):

如果给你一个变量n，它展开为一个(非负的)数字和一个变量模式，例如，

$ n=5
$ pattern=hello
$ printf -v output '%*s' "$n"
$ output=${output// /$pattern}
$ echo "$output"
hellohellohellohellohello

你可以用它来创建一个函数:

repeat() {
    # $1=number of patterns to repeat
    # $2=pattern
    # $3=output variable name
    local tmp
    printf -v tmp '%*s' "$1"
    printf -v "$3" '%s' "${tmp// /$2}"
}

这套:

$ repeat 5 hello output
$ echo "$output"
hellohellohellohellohello

对于这个小技巧，我们经常使用printf:

-v varname: instead of printing to standard output, printf will put the content of the formatted string in variable varname. '%*s': printf will use the argument to print the corresponding number of spaces. E.g., printf '%*s' 42 will print 42 spaces. Finally, when we have the wanted number of spaces in our variable, we use a parameter expansion to replace all the spaces by our pattern: ${var// /$pattern} will expand to the expansion of var with all the spaces replaced by the expansion of $pattern.

你也可以通过间接展开来去掉repeat函数中的tmp变量:

repeat() {
    # $1=number of patterns to repeat
    # $2=pattern
    # $3=output variable name
    printf -v "$3" '%*s' "$1"
    printf -v "$3" '%s' "${!3// /$2}"
}

Python无处不在，在任何地方都能正常工作。

import sys;Print ('*' * int(sys.argv[1]))"" = " 100

Character和count作为单独的参数传递。

repeat() {
    # $1=number of patterns to repeat
    # $2=pattern
    printf -v "TEMP" '%*s' "$1"
    echo ${TEMP// /$2}
}
