我真正需要的是这样的东西：

for i in $(the_array); do something; done

例如：

for i in $(ps -aux | grep vlc  | awk '{ print $2 }'); do kill -9 $i; done

（将终止所有以vlc命名的进程）

单线循环，

 declare -a listOfNames=('db_a' 'db_b' 'db_c')
 for databaseName in ${listOfNames[@]}; do echo $databaseName; done;

你会得到这样的输出，

db_a
db_b
db_c

listOfNames="db_one db_two db_three"
for databaseName in $listOfNames
do
  echo $databaseName
done

或者只是

for databaseName in db_one db_two db_three
do
  echo $databaseName
done

您可以这样使用：

## declare an array variable
declare -a arr=("element1" "element2" "element3")

## now loop through the above array
for i in "${arr[@]}"
do
   echo "$i"
   # or do whatever with individual element of the array
done

# You can access them using echo "${arr[0]}", "${arr[1]}" also

也适用于多行数组声明

declare -a arr=("element1" 
                "element2" "element3"
                "element4"
                )

您可以使用${arrayName[@]}的语法

#!/bin/bash
# declare an array called files, that contains 3 values
files=( "/etc/passwd" "/etc/group" "/etc/hosts" )
for i in "${files[@]}"
do
    echo "$i"
done

当然，这是可能的。

for databaseName in a b c d e f; do
  # do something like: echo $databaseName
done
