另一种方法是:

str="a, b, c, d"  # assuming there is a space after ',' as in Q
arr=(${str//,/})  # delete all occurrences of ','

在这个'arr'后面是一个包含四个字符串的数组。 这不需要处理IFS或读取或任何其他特殊的东西，因此更简单和直接。

不要更改IFS!

下面是一个简单的bash一行代码:

read -a my_array <<< $(echo ${INPUT_STRING} | tr -d ' ' | tr ',' ' ')

这类似于Jmoney38的方法，但是使用sed:

string="1,2,3,4"
array=(`echo $string | sed 's/,/\n/g'`)
echo ${array[0]}

打印1

将字符串分割为数组的关键是多字符分隔符“，”。任何使用IFS进行多字符分隔符的解决方案本质上都是错误的，因为IFS是这些字符的集合，而不是字符串。

如果指定IFS="， "，"则字符串将在"，" OR " "或它们的任何组合上中断，这不是"，"这两个字符分隔符的准确表示。

你可以使用awk或sed来拆分字符串，使用进程替换:

#!/bin/bash

str="Paris, France, Europe"
array=()
while read -r -d $'\0' each; do   # use a NUL terminated field separator 
    array+=("$each")
done < <(printf "%s" "$str" | awk '{ gsub(/,[ ]+|$/,"\0"); print }')
declare -p array
# declare -a array=([0]="Paris" [1]="France" [2]="Europe") output

在Bash中直接使用正则表达式更有效:

#!/bin/bash

str="Paris, France, Europe"

array=()
while [[ $str =~ ([^,]+)(,[ ]+|$) ]]; do
    array+=("${BASH_REMATCH[1]}")   # capture the field
    i=${#BASH_REMATCH}              # length of field + delimiter
    str=${str:i}                    # advance the string by that length
done                                # the loop deletes $str, so make a copy if needed

declare -p array
# declare -a array=([0]="Paris" [1]="France" [2]="Europe") output...

使用第二种形式，没有子外壳，它将固有地更快。

编辑by bgoldst:下面是一些比较我的readarray解决方案和dawg的regex解决方案的基准测试，我还包括了read解决方案(注:我稍微修改了regex解决方案，以使其与我的解决方案更加和谐)(也可以参阅我的帖子下面的评论):

## competitors
function c_readarray { readarray -td '' a < <(awk '{ gsub(/, /,"\0"); print; };' <<<"$1, "); unset 'a[-1]'; };

对于多行元素，为什么不像

$ array=($(echo -e $'a a\nb b' | tr ' ' '§')) && array=("${array[@]//§/ }") && echo "${array[@]/%/ INTERELEMENT}"

a a INTERELEMENT b b INTERELEMENT

另一种不修改IFS的方法是:

read -r -a myarray <<< "${string//, /$IFS}"

我们不需要更改IFS以匹配所需的分隔符，而是可以通过"${string//， /$IFS}"将所有出现的所需分隔符"，"替换为$IFS的内容。

也许这对于非常大的字符串来说会很慢?
