关于如何使用括号对表达式进行分组和展开的其他信息: (它列在链接语法括号中)

这里有一些要点:

在子shell中分组命令:() (列表)

将当前shell中的命令分组:{} {列表;｝

Test -返回一个表达式的二进制结果:[[]] [表达式]]

算术扩张 算术展开的格式是: $(表达式)

简单算术求值的格式是: (表达)

组合多个表达式 (表达式) (expr1 && expr2))

Truncate the contents of a variable

$ var="abcde"; echo ${var%d*}
abc

Make substitutions similar to sed

$ var="abcde"; echo ${var/de/12}
abc12

Use a default value

$ default="hello"; unset var; echo ${var:-$default}
hello

test，[和[]之间的区别在BashFAQ中有详细的解释。 (注:链接中有很多例子供比较)

To cut a long story short: test implements the old, portable syntax of the command. In almost all shells (the oldest Bourne shells are the exception), [ is a synonym for test (but requires a final argument of ]). Although all modern shells have built-in implementations of [, there usually still is an external executable of that name, e.g. /bin/[. [[ is a new, improved version of it, and it is a keyword, not a program. This has beneficial effects on the ease of use, as shown below. [[ is understood by KornShell and BASH (e.g. 2.03), but not by the older POSIX or BourneShell.

结论是:

什么时候使用新的测试命令[[，什么时候使用旧的测试命令[? 如果要考虑到POSIX或BourneShell的可移植性/一致性，则应该考虑旧语法 被使用。如果脚本需要BASH、Zsh或KornShell， 新的语法通常更加灵活。

我只是想从TLDP中添加这些:

~:$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

~:$ echo ${#SHELL}
9

~:$ ARRAY=(one two three)

~:$ echo ${#ARRAY}
3

~:$ echo ${TEST:-test}
test

~:$ echo $TEST


~:$ export TEST=a_string

~:$ echo ${TEST:-test}
a_string

~:$ echo ${TEST2:-$TEST}
a_string

~:$ echo $TEST2


~:$ echo ${TEST2:=$TEST}
a_string

~:$ echo $TEST2
a_string

~:$ export STRING="thisisaverylongname"

~:$ echo ${STRING:4}
isaverylongname

~:$ echo ${STRING:6:5}
avery

~:$ echo ${ARRAY[*]}
one two one three one four

~:$ echo ${ARRAY[*]#one}
two three four

~:$ echo ${ARRAY[*]#t}
one wo one hree one four

~:$ echo ${ARRAY[*]#t*}
one wo one hree one four

~:$ echo ${ARRAY[*]##t*}
one one one four

~:$ echo $STRING
thisisaverylongname

~:$ echo ${STRING%name}
thisisaverylong

~:$ echo ${STRING/name/string}
thisisaverylongstring
