将heredoc值赋给变量

VAR="$(cat <<'VAREOF'
abc'asdf"
$(dont-execute-this)
foo"bar"''
VAREOF
)"

用作命令的参数

echo "$(cat <<'SQLEOF'
xxx''xxx'xxx'xx  123123    123123
abc'asdf"
$(dont-execute-this)
foo"bar"''
SQLEOF
)"

感谢dimo414的回答，这展示了他的伟大解决方案是如何工作的，并表明你可以在文本中轻松地使用引号和变量:

示例输出

$ ./test.sh

The text from the example function is:
  Welcome dev: Would you "like" to know how many 'files' there are in /tmp?

  There are "      38" files in /tmp, according to the "wc" command

test.sh

#!/bin/bash

function text1()
{
  COUNT=$(\ls /tmp | wc -l)
cat <<EOF

  $1 Would you "like" to know how many 'files' there are in /tmp?

  There are "$COUNT" files in /tmp, according to the "wc" command

EOF
}

function main()
{
  OUT=$(text1 "Welcome dev:")
  echo "The text from the example function is: $OUT"
}

main

使用$()将cat的输出赋值给你的变量，如下所示:

VAR=$(cat <<'END_HEREDOC'
abc'asdf"
$(dont-execute-this)
foo"bar"''
END_HEREDOC
)

# this will echo variable with new lines intact
echo "$VAR"
# this will echo variable without new lines (changed to space character)
echo $VAR

确保从END_HEREDOC开始用单引号分隔。

注意，结束括号分隔符END_HEREDOC必须单独在一行上(因此结束括号在下一行上)。

感谢@ephemient的回答。

数组是一个变量，所以在这种情况下mapfile可以工作

mapfile y <<'z'
abc'asdf"
$(dont-execute-this)
foo"bar"''
z

然后你可以像这样打印

printf %s "${y[@]}"

从尼尔的回答来看，你通常根本不需要var，你可以像使用变量一样使用函数，而且它比内联或基于读取的解决方案更容易读取。

$ complex_message() {
  cat <<'EOF'
abc'asdf"
$(dont-execute-this)
foo"bar"''
EOF
}

$ echo "This is a $(complex_message)"
This is a abc'asdf"
$(dont-execute-this)
foo"bar"''

将heredoc值赋给变量

VAR="$(cat <<'VAREOF'
abc'asdf"
$(dont-execute-this)
foo"bar"''
VAREOF
)"

用作命令的参数

echo "$(cat <<'SQLEOF'
xxx''xxx'xxx'xx  123123    123123
abc'asdf"
$(dont-execute-this)
foo"bar"''
SQLEOF
)"
