for i in {1..100}

  echo -n '='
done

另一个使用printf和tr的bash解决方案

nb。在开始之前:

我们需要另一个答案吗?可能不会。 答案已经在这里了吗?看不见，就这样。

使用printf的前导零填充特性，并使用tr转换零。这避免了任何{1..N}发电机:

$ printf '%040s' | tr '0' '='
========================================

设置宽度为'N'字符，并自定义打印的字符:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
N=40
C='-'
printf "%0${N}s" | tr '0' "${C}"

对于大N，这比生成器的性能要好得多;在我的机器上(bash 3.2.57):

$ time printf '=%.0s' {1..1000000}         real: 0m2.580s
$ time printf '%01000000s' | tr '0' '='    real: 0m0.577s

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}
}

如果你想重复一个字符n次，n是一个变量的次数，这取决于，比如说，字符串的长度，你可以这样做:

#!/bin/bash
vari='AB'
n=$(expr 10 - length $vari)
echo 'vari equals.............................: '$vari
echo 'Up to 10 positions I must fill with.....: '$n' equal signs'
echo $vari$(perl -E 'say "=" x '$n)

它显示:

vari equals.............................: AB  
Up to 10 positions I must fill with.....: 8 equal signs  
AB========  

稍微长一点的版本，但如果你出于某种原因必须使用纯Bash，你可以使用一个带增量变量的while循环:

n=0; while [ $n -lt 100 ]; do n=$((n+1)); echo -n '='; done

在bash 3.0或更高版本中

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